Hot Mess [n.] - someone attractive, who is often in disarray.
Have you ever shown up to Sunday brunch still smelling of Saturday night?
Chosen bed, Netflix and pizza over human contact?
Stayed in your mould-ridden flat because it´s cheap?

Meet your spirit animal, Ellie Knight.
Her life isn´t turning out exactly as she planned.
She hates her job, her friends are coupling up and settling down, and her flatmates are just plain weird.

Some people might say she´s a hot mess but who really has their sh t together anyway? For fans of Fleabag and Girls, this is a fresh and funny coming-of-age story with a single-girl heroine that will speak to millennials everywhere. Everyone is talking about Hot Mess - the hilarious laugh-out-loud Bridget Jones for a new generation:

´More lifestyle-affirming than Bridget Jones´ Sarah Knight, author of The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F ck

´If you love dirty jokes, dating horror stories and hilarious dialogue, this book is for you´ Emma Gannon, author and podcast host of Ctrl Alt Delete

´I laughed and sighed with recognition as I turned every page´ Daisy Buchanan, author of How To Be a Grown-Up

Praise for the hottest new release of 2017:

I´d need the fingers and toes of all the Tinder dates that Ellie Knight goes on in Hot Mess - and then some - to count the times I laughed out loud while reading this bawdy broad of a book. More lifestyle-affirming than Bridget Jones, less jab-a-fork-in-my-eye weepy than Love, Actually - this is a rom-com for a new generation. I loved it!
Sarah Knight, bestselling author of The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F ck and Get Your Sh t Together
