Live, Laugh, Leave Me Alone

The hilarious and relatable exploration of what it really means to 'live your best life'! For anyone who has rolled their eyes at a wellness influencer (and then wondered if they should drink the green juice anyway…) –––––––––––––––- Lucy is fifty, frazzled and fed up. After spending half her life working, she’s tired, and her idea of inner peace involves a sofa, wine and a takeaway. But when her boss announces his retirement, Lucy gears up for a well-earned promotion – that is until Tara, her annoyingly perfect colleague, swoops in, dazzling the CEO with her #BossBabe energy and commitment to a wellness bootcamp so hardcore it sounds like a cult. Desperate to compete, Lucy lies about joining the same program — even though her body feels more landfill than temple. Now she’s trapped in four weeks of ice baths, crystals and green juices… not to mention jade eggs in unspeakable places. As the wellness madness escalates and rivalries flare, Lu starts to wonder if she actually might be growing as a person – or if that’s just the kombucha talking? And why can’t she shake the feeling that maybe Tara isn’t as perfect as she seems? LIVE, LAUGH, LEAVE ME ALONE –––––––––––––––– AUTHORS LOVE HARPER FORD! 'I loved !
