Description
'Jane Austen on steroids. It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true' Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours
'Intoxicating . . . A wellness tonic for people who like to make fun of the wellness industry' Leigh Stein, author of Self Care
______
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 - guru 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 and glowing skin will always come at a price...

READERS ARE ALREADY LOVING THE GLOW:
‘If Portia from The White Lotus was a slightly older book character sans tacky Gen Z outfits, she’d be Jane. I can already tell you it’s going to be one of my favourites of the year’
‘Fast moving and you will enjoy every minute’
‘Painfully relatable. Prepare to re-think your relationship with Instagram’
Advance Praise
'Jessie Gaynor's wildly funny, laser-eyed novel is Jane Austen on steroids. It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true' Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours
'Deliciously tart, fizzy, and absolutely intoxicating, The Glow is like a slim can of hard kombucha: a wellness tonic for people who like to make fun of the wellness industry' Leigh Stein, author of Self Care
'The Glow is the first truly dead-on satire of wellness culture, understanding it as not just a consumer trend, but a way of thinking and speaking. With terrifying wit, Jessie Gaynor shreds the overrated virtues of prosperity and healthy moisture barriers, and extols the underrated virtues of irony and sanity' Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens
