Book People

Norma Jacobs is your average accountant, running a book club on Facebook and living quietly with her gamer boyfriend in London. Except for the part where she’s been threatened by a deranged author and questioned by the police about attempted murder. All just as she’s started a new job as the only forty-two-year-old intern in the history of publishing.

Harry Shields is a crime writer desperate to hit the big time when a negative review of his latest book on Norma’s page results in him having a spectacular public meltdown. He gets cancelled, his events get cancelled, and before you can say ‘author behaving badly, ‘ he’s plotting revenge and stalking his nemesis.

By the time Harry’s gone viral and Norma’s given up trying to stop him, the online book club has over a hundred thousand rowdy members, and the comments section is a (literal) riot. Entertaining until one member ends up in a coma.
