'A gorgeous page-turner about finding your worth.' Louisa Reid, author of Handle with Care. Girl, Ultra-Processed by Amara Sage.
New year, new me! That's what Saffron Saldana tells herself as the clock strikes midnight. Her resolution is the same every year: lose weight. But diet culture has ugly consequences, as Saffron is about to find out...

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing- I’ll have a read!
Thank you for reading, Caroline and for such lovely words. Sorry for the heartbreak!
Thank you! You’re brilliant!
Yes please!
