Synopsis

WHEN LIFE HAS YOU DOWN ON LOVE, SURELY THE ONLY WAY IS UP . . . ?
__________________________

Twenty-five years in showbiz is a good run, right? Because after tonight, when her small (read: huge) wardrobe malfunction was broadcast to the nation's living rooms, Daisy's time in the spotlight might be over.

It's all about damage control now, and Daisy needs an escape route. Fast. Especially when her sporting hero boyfriend publicly announces their engagement - the one she hasn't actually agreed to tell the world about.

All she needs is space from prying eyes and time for the press to get bored and move on. But the only place she can run to at such short notice is the Cotswolds cottage she used to own with her ex-husband. Not ideal, but at least it's in the middle of nowhere and close to her teenage daughter.

Seems like a perfect plan, apart from the person selling stories to the tabloids about her and Tom, the local headmaster.

But that's just a rumour, right?

The perfect uplifting and feel-good romantic comedy that will have you snorting with laughter.

The Only Way Is Up is about Daisy who endures a wardrobe malfunction and flashes her bits at an awards show and follows her life in the months afterwards as she tries to escape the media attention.

Goodreads review by Kate on September 29, 2022

This book was both interesting and engaging. This is a wonderful book set in England, with a nod to Americans when the author uses “miles” instead of “kilometers” to describe distances. Daisy is a well-known British tv personality who is approaching her 40th birthday. After an embarrassing event at......more

Goodreads review by Claudia, on September 28, 2022

This author was new to me, but not any more! I really enjoyed this story, and it's creativity! Daisy is easy to relate to, connect with, and I certainly empathized with her struggles. I wanted her to handle situations with a little more of a backbone, but overall, I liked her character. Tom has a hea......more
