Turn Back Time

A hilarious, relatable story about the beauty industry that you won't be able to put down

‘Completely original, utterly addictive and outrageously funny. A wild and riotous ride skewering our obsession with youth.’ Daisy Buchanan

Psychologies Book of the Month

You could look 20 years younger. Would you do it?

47-year-old beauty journalist Erica Pells is over the 'pro-ageing' articles she is exclusively asked to write (apart from the punny headlines that no one appreciates). Frankly, she's over most things; getting older, heavy contouring and boring old Wiltshire.
So when her former editor gives her the opportunity to try a revolutionary hi-tech beauty treatment called WULT (Woke Up Like This), that promises to make you look 20 years younger, she jumps at the chance. What has she got to lose, anyway?
But how does a Gen X woman who grew up with Bridget Jones survive when she looks like fresh-faced Gen Z?
TURN BACK TIME tells the hilarious story of a middle-aged woman who goes back to find her youth, and discovers it wasn't where she left it at all.
