Synopsis

Hot Mess [n.] - someone attractive, who is often in disarray.
Have you ever shown up to Sunday brunch still smelling of Saturday night?
Chosen bed, Netflix and pizza over human contact?
Stayed in your mould-ridden flat because it's cheap?

Meet your spirit animal, Ellie Knight.
Her life isn't turning out exactly as she planned.
She hates her job, her friends are coupling up and settling down, and her flatmates are just plain weird.

Some people might say she's a hot mess but who really has their sh*t together anyway? For fans of Fleabag and Girls, this is a fresh and funny coming-of-age story with a single-girl heroine that will speak to millennials everywhere.

Everyone is talking about Hot Mess - the hilarious laugh-out-loud Bridget Jones for a new generation:
'More lifestyle-affirming than Bridget Jones' Sarah Knight, author of The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
'If you love dirty jokes, dating horror stories and hilarious dialogue, this book is for you' Emma Gannon, author and podcast host of Ctrl Alt Delete
'I laughed and sighed with recognition as I turned every page' Daisy Buchanan, author of How To Be a Grown-Up

Reviews

Goodreads review by Miriam

"Hot Mess" by Lucy Vine is one of those books that's like a breath of fresh air. This has to be one of the funniest books I've read in a long time, great story, fab characters and just so humorous you really do just want to laugh out loud. I liked Ellie very much, I think as women we all can relate t......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa

Not quite the "modern Bridget Jones", because Bridget Jones wasn't NEARLY as whiney and self-pitying as Eleanor in this book. I just could not warm up to the main character - the constant whining about being single, about living in a shitty flat, the fact that most of the time she was embarrassed ab......more

Goodreads review by shannon✨

Het heeft even geduurd, maar ik heb dit boek (eindelijk) uit. Wat overigens aanvoelt als een opluchting. Ik vond het plot niet per se vervelend, maar het was meer de schrijfstijl die het voor mij verpestte. Ik had moeite met het vasthouden van m'n concentratie, terwijl ik sommige momenten en beschri......more

Quotes

Praise for the hottest new release of 2017:

I'd need the fingers and toes of all the Tinder dates that Ellie Knight goes on in Hot Mess - and then some - to count the times I laughed out loud while reading this bawdy broad of a book. More lifestyle-affirming than Bridget Jones, less jab-a-fork-in-my-eye weepy than Love, Actually - this is a rom-com for a new generation. I loved it! Sarah Knight, bestselling author of The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and Get Your Sh*t Together

The most relatable book I've read in years - funny, real, filthy, if you liked Fleabag and Broad City, you'll love this Heat

If you love dirty jokes, dating horror stories and hilarious dialogue, this book is for you. Hot Mess will make you feel less alone and proud to be the imperfect hero of your own life Emma Gannon, author and podcast host of Ctrl Alt Delete

Hot Mess is one of the funniest, warmest books I've ever read. Heroine Ellie is a loveable, likeable everywoman and I laughed and sighed with recognition as I turned every page. It's a gorgeous story about all relationships, friendships, family and romance. If it doesn't make you laugh out loud, I could never be friends with you. A truly lovely and lively debut - I'm hooked on Lucy Vine's writing. Daisy Buchanan, author of How To Be a Grown-Up

Lucy Vine is always hilarious and with Hot Mess she's channelling her uniquely pithy tone into shining a light on the daily toils of being single and millennial. I'd swipe right for Hot Mess Grazia

The funniest thing I have read in a very,very long time. Ellie Knight is your new single soul sister and the perfect antidote to nosy relatives constantly asking when you're going to meet someone "nice" Cosmopolitan

Bad dates, bad mates, figuring yourself out and f**king it up - the laugh out loud literary equivalent of Trainwreck-meets-Fleabag Glamour

A laugh-out-loud comedy of errors Red Magazine

A breath of fresh air, deftly subverting some of chick lit's biggest clichés. You're guaranteed at least one moment of total recognition per chapter Stylist

This book is getting a lot of Bridget Jones comparisons, but thanks to her disastrous Tinder dates and single-life fails, we think lead character Ellie Knight is even better. And funnier. This is must-pack holiday reading that'll have you snorting into your pina colada and passing it onto your mates. LOOK
