'We are so ready for this book. Exploring the exhausting push-pull
of trying to pin down a career you love but that doesn't love you
back, Buchanan's book is set to capture the zeitgeist as so many of
us question where we're at' Stylist careering (verb) 1. working
endlessly for a job you used to love and now resent entirely 2.
moving in a way that feels out of control * Imogen has always
dreamed of writing for a magazine. Infinite internships later,
Imogen dreams of any job. Writing her blog around double shifts at
the pub is neither fulfilling her creatively nor paying the bills.
Harri might just be Imogen's fairy godmother. She's moving from the
glossy pages of Panache magazine to launch a fierce feminist site,
The Know. And she thinks Imogen's most outrageous sexual content
will help generate the clicks she needs. But neither woman is aware
of the crucial thing they have in common. Harri, at the other end
of her career, has also been bitten and betrayed by the industry
she has given herself to. Will she wake up to the way she's being
exploited before her protege realises that not everything is copy?
Can either woman reconcile their love for work with the fact that
work will never love them back? Or is a chaotic rebellion
calling... Hilarious and unflinchingly honest, Careering takes a
hard look at the often toxic relationship working women have with
their dream jobs. 'A love story about work, self-worth and modern
womanhood, Careering is, quite simply, the funniest novel I've read
all year.' Nell Frizzell, author of The Panic Years 'There is no
writer out there who can make you laugh and cry quite like Daisy
Buchanan. Careering is a compelling and thoughtful read that every
woman (and man) should have on their shelves.' Lucy Vine, author of
Bad Choices 'Full of brilliant characters, loveable chaos and a
world of magazine nostalgia. If you've ever had a job suck your
soul, even slightly, you'll love it.' Emma Gannon, author of Olive
'Blisteringly funny and painfully perceptive. Daisy has that magic
gift, of capturing the nuance and detail of a very specific world
in such a way that it feels universally, eternally relatable.'
Lauren Bravo, author of How To Break Up With Fast Fashion
'Careering is instantly addictive. It's fresh and raw and
mesmerising, filled with humour and heart. Without a doubt, this is
the book I'll be shouting about to everyone this year as a
must-read.' Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth 'Careering
will strike such a chord with anyone who has ever walked to a job
interview in trainers with a tote bag containing heels over their
shoulder, feeling like an imposter.' Emma Hughes, author of No Such
Thing As Perfect 'So perceptive and wise about the media,
privilege, the differing but equally troubling pressures that women
of all ages face, while still being moving, laugh out loud funny,
and inspiring. I loved it.' Louise O'Neill, author of Idol 'A great
great book. Daisy Buchanan has that special something that makes a
wonderful popular fiction writer - acute observational skills, huge
empathy and a perfect balance of light and shade. I loved loved
loved Careering.' Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
