My Not So Perfect Life

Digital Glamour Blues

Becky Brandon thought she’d left her days of impulsive shopping sprees and designer shoe dilemmas behind—until her perfectly curated Instagram feed becomes the battleground for envy, ambition, and the quest for “likes.” In My Not So Perfect Life, Sophie Kinsella reunites readers with the irrepressible Becky, now a social media strategist at a top London agency. Tasked with selling a dream lifestyle she doesn’t fully believe in, Becky finds herself scripting the highlight reels of influencers who seem to have it all: picture-perfect homes, flawless marriages, and envy-inducing wardrobes. As she races from photo shoots at a seaside villa to the launch party of the season’s must-have gadget, Becky’s own life unravels in the most unexpected ways.

Chasing the Perfect Feed

Between scheduled “engagement huddles” and frantic DMs begging for sponsored posts, Becky juggles secrecy and sincerity with equal parts humor and heart. When her estranged best friend—the brilliant but jaded photographer Jess—returns with a scandalous exposé of influencer culture, Becky must choose between protecting the glossy façades she helped create or revealing the messy truths behind the filters. As she navigates boardroom betrayals, viral controversies, and a rekindled romance with the ever-patient Luke, Becky realizes that real life can’t be edited with a swipe and that authenticity might just be the most radical trend of all.

Realities Unfiltered

As the campaign’s deadline looms and the pressure to deliver skyrockets, Becky’s carefully scripted world threatens to implode—until a candid confession goes viral for all the wrong reasons. In a breathtaking climax beneath the glare of smartphone lights and the hum of live streams, Becky learns that imperfection can forge deeper connections than any algorithm, and that true success lies not in projected perfection but in heartfelt vulnerability. My Not So Perfect Life is a sparkling, laugh-out-loud testament to embracing every flaw, mishap, and unexpected detour along the path to genuine happiness.
