About this ebook

"Full of belly laughs and epic cringes. A little like a Bridget Jones and Sex and the City hybrid. Would make a great holiday read." Goodreads.com

"Fun, frivolous and full of embarrassing moments, it also gives a wonderful insight into the world of public relations." The Sun newspaper - ebook of the week

"Charlotte Ashby's first novel is a heady mix of Bridget Jones and Jilly Cooper." Gloucestershire Echo

Imagine if you had emailed a good friend almost daily, with graphic descriptions of every one night stand, workplace cock up, unrequited crush and ungenerous thought - a sort of e-confessional. And what if all those emails got into the wrong hands?

It all looked so rosy for the hapless Emily Brighouse, supposedly a high flying PR girl, living in London, behaving like any other single, 20 something woman, only much worse. But 8 years after graduation, she’s about to be sacked, evicted from her flat and has just been served with an ASBO. 8am on the morning of her 29th birthday, she is limping down Bethnal Green High Street after another one night stand, wearing only one shoe. And she is about to find out that her email confessor is not entirely who she thought they were.

This is a romantic comedy which lifts the lid on the madcap world of public relations and what ‘girls like us’ really get up to.

Charlotte Ashby

Girls Like Us is Charlotte Ashby's debut novel. After studying English Literature at Cambridge University, she went into PR. Twenty years later, she realised she had more than enough material to write her first novel. She lives in Oxfordshire, with her husband, 2 children and 26 pets.
