About Face

by Jude Ryan

Clare Keefe's life revolves around one thing: corporate success. Steadily advancing at a London PR agency despite her paranoid slave-driving boss, Clare's certain she's on her way to the top - until she's fired.

Unable to face her empty life, Clare takes a job as an assistant at a celebrity hair salon, keen for a stop-gap before resuming her climb. But her toxic need to impress gets the better of her, and things fall apart faster than she can say 'thank you for coming'. The result: a disgruntled soap star and the end of her short-lived stint in the beauty industry.

Back at square one -- with no job, a flatmate she barely knows any longer, and a family she's pushed aside -- Clare must try to shed the layers of expectation and discover what it is she really wants. If success doesn't equal happiness, then what does?
