Jade Shaw has lost control of her life.Pushed around by her warring family, and taken for granted by a boyfriend who's more interested in his "brand" than their relationship, she knows that somewhere along the path to being an adult she's lost her way. And she can't seem to find it again. 
The last place she expects to discover answers is on the floor outside her flat. But there it is: a script. Containing her name, and her boyfriend Adam's - and depicting another huge argument in which Jade fails to stand up for herself. The weird thing is: this argument hasn't happened yet. 
 
The row becomes reality. Jade tries and fails to find her voice. Then more scripts appear, predicting infuriating scenarios in which Jade's boss, mum, and bridezilla sister walk all over her. Whoever is leaving these scripts knows Jade inside-out. But who is writing them? How are they able to predict her future so accurately?And what can Jade do to re-write the script?

Jade Shaw has lost control of her life. 
Pushed around by her warring family, and taken for granted by a boyfriend who's more interested in his “brand” than their relationship, 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?

The brand was created from her first book released in 2017, Happy, which was a Sunday Times Bestseller and a silver Nielsen Bestseller. This was the first in a series of books talking about her own, and some of the not so positive, experiences with happiness. This was also the premise for her podcast launched in 2018, Happy Place, and has featured an array of guest such as Ellie Golding, Hilary Rodham Clinton, Jada Pinkett Smith, Gary Barlow, Alicia Keys, and Elizabeth Gilbert amongst others. To date, the podcast has had over 31 million downloads and continues to top the charts. 2019 saw a further extension of the brand into the live space, with over 10,000 people attending two Happy Place Festivals, one in the north and one in the south of England. The Festival went virtual this year, running over a month. Her third cook book, Happy Vegan, was published Autumn last year. 
 
Fearne is a mother of two, and step-mother of two, and closely supports a range of charities - most notably mental health charity Mind, The Prince's Trust and Coppafeel!, the latter of which she curates the charity's music festival, Festifeel.
