When the ‘stupidly, ridiculously successful’ writer Athena Liu dies her only friend, June Hayward, takes ownership of her latest manuscript, working on it until she feels it is her own and receiving a lucrative publishing deal.

THIS IS ONE HELL OF A STORY.




IT'S JUST NOT HERS TO TELL.



When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees her opportunity... and takes it.


So what if it means stealing Athena's final manuscript?


So what if it means 'borrowing' her identity?


And so what if the first lie is only the beginning...



Finally, June has the fame she always deserved. But someone is about to expose her...




What happens next is entirely everyone else's fault.




'The book that everyone is talking about' Glamour




'Ingenious, astute, hugely entertaining' David Nicholls




'Breathtakingly clever on jealousy, talent, success, and who gets to tell which story' Elizabeth Day
