Clare is a successful but newly divorced woman who battles various mental health issues. These include sex addiction, alcoholism, OCD, an eating disorder and depression. She juggles her demanding career and life as a single parent, all the while trying to hide her increasingly uncontrollable behaviour, which manifests itself as an alter ego called Roxy.
At the dawn of a new digital age, Clare joins Facebook, a newly released social media website that has taken over from MySpace, where she connects and meets with a former flame. Following an emotionally sadomasochistic dalliance with this former lover, Clare then has a string of casual sex encounters with strangers. She has a growing drink problem that sees the alter ego Roxy take over the decision-making, often leading Clare into dangerous situations. Her growing dependency displays itself through obsessive-compulsive traits such as excessive cleaning, exercising and handwashing while, at night time, she has insomnia and often thinks about death.
Clare spirals out of control and falls into a deep depression, but can she hope to find a way out?

This book is gripping from the very start. The range of emotions I felt while reading went from one extreme to another. It is brutally honest and exposing, describing the struggles that hide beneath the surface of what people perceive to be a successful working mum. It really does show that you don’t know what happens behind closed doors. This is almost a sneak peek into someone else’s mind. Brilliantly written and leaves you wanting more!
This is quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Its racey, naughty, emotional and an absolute page turner for me!! Opening up the taboos of addiction, mental health, eating disorders, love, lust and so much more. I laughed out loud, I cried, I felt a rollercoaster of emotions, brilliantly written and so much identification. I highly recommend this book! Also available as an ebook and audio book - narrated by the author!

A hard hitting novel about the struggles in life and the downward spiral of Clare’s mental health. This book gripped me from the start and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the squeal as it’s left on a total cliffhanger - 100% recommendation from me
