Scripted

Cotton, Fearne

£18.99

Jade Shaw has lost control of her life. Pushed around by her family, and taken for granted by her boyfriend, she knows that somewhere along the path to being an adult she’s lost her way. The last place she expects to find answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a script. Containing her name, and her boyfriend’s, and showing yet another excruciating argument in which he calls all the shots. The weird thing is: this argument hasn’t happened yet. The row becomes reality. Jade feels more frustrated than ever. Then more scripts appear; infuriating scenes in which Jade’s boss, mum, and bridezilla sister walk all over her. The future is painfully familiar. But it’s not a future Jade likes. Is it too late for her to re-write the script?

Meet Jade Shaw: a 32-year-old woman living with a domineering boyfriend and managing a boisterous family

Somehow Jade has lost control.

Stuck in the middle of her chaotic family and taken for granted by her self-obsessed boyfriend, Adam, she’s forgotten how to speak for herself.

The last place she expects to find answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a mysterious, untitled script, predicting an infuriating row with Adam.

Later, as if by magic, the scene becomes reality: word for word, line for line, with Adam getting his own way. Then, more scripts appear – scraps of paper predicting scenarios in which Jade’s boss, mum, and bridezilla sister call all the shots.

Having been given a sneak peek at her future, Jade knows she needs to rewrite her destiny.

Can she create her own happy ever after?
