People Pleaser

Olivia has been trying very hard to please people for a very long time. Whilst her husband’s doing burpees, she’s doing everything else. She smiles through yet another ‘opportunity’ that isn’t a promotion. And she says yes to her mother, when what she really means is no.

But today, everything is going to change.

After soul-crushing career disappointment, a fiery young woman with a chip on her shoulder, and a single blue hallucinogenic gummy lead to a raucous night, Olivia wakes up the next morning, fresh out of f**ks to give and unable to please anyone but HERSELF.

So who actually is Olivia Greenwood when she’s not trying to be what everyone else wants her to be?

I absolutely ADORED People Pleaser. I have never related so much to a book!
