About this ebook
Inner peace
Glowing skin
The perfect body
How far would you go?
Jane Dorner has two modes:
PR Jane is twenty-five, breezy, clever in a non-threatening way and eager to sell you a feminist vibrator.
Actual Jane is twenty-nine, drifting through mediocre workdays and lackluster dates while paralysed by her crushing mountain of overdue bills.
Enter the impossibly gorgeous Cass, whom Jane discovers scrolling through Instagram - proprietor of a 'wellness retreat' based out of a ramshackle country house that may or may not be giving off cult vibes. Suddenly Jane realizes she might have found the one ladder she can climb.
But inner peace, shiny hair and glowing skin always comes at a price . . .

'A welcome dose of satire for anyone who's been duped by yoni eggs, vagina scented candles, or TikTok tarot readers' i-D
