Publisher Description

Pippa Clayton is a grown woman with an imaginary friend. She also hears a soundtrack to her life and envisions fantastical scenes, from travelling on the Hogwarts Express to bowling offenders who block supermarket aisles out of the way like skittles.

Clumsy but caring, Pippa is always there for her friends and always willing to raise money for a good cause. She lives alone with her cat, Mr. Fluffles, and works as a receptionist for an advertising agency, where she has a huge crush on the new Creative Director, Tom Arnold.

But when potential client Max Wild spots her hidden talent and asks her for a date, can Pippa be brave enough to leave the comforting world that she has created for herself since an unexplained tragedy in her past and learn to face up to stark reality?

With the help of her family and friends, ranging from her BFF, Lucy; her hapless-with-women colleague, Tim; her hobby-obsessed mother; and her close friend Jemima, Pippa must learn to navigate the trials and tribulations of work and an increasingly complicated love triangle…
