now



### A darkly funny novel about being a young woman in a man's world, by the
bestselling author of The Rachel Incident


'Like Nora Ephron's Heartburn, Promising Young Women positively thrums with
relatability and honesty' IRISH INDEPENDENT

Jane is twenty-six, freshly dumped, and on the bottom rung of a lacklustre
marketing career. She is also moonlighting as a worldly agony aunt. When an
office party goes too far, she drunkenly tries out another role: the Other
Woman. As Jane's affair with her much older, married boss takes off, she
disregards the advice her alter ego would give and dissolves into being
someone else's dirty little secret. But she's not the only one at her company
to have taken the wrong path. As she finds her own health and sanity
disintegrating, can she discover the truth before another promising young
woman is taken under his wing?

'Deeply relatable and darkly comic . . . It'll have you nodding with
familiarity, thinking, laughing - and crying - as you race towards the end'
