Meet Lara Bloom - the best friend you never knew you needed. This is her diary . . .
When Lara meets super-cute new boy Caiden, she begins to think that the way to his heart is to give herself a glow up. But her friends are not impressed. You should never glow up for a boy, only for yourself!
As Lara and her friends embark on their project of empowerment and self-love, Lara shares all of her innermost thoughts with her online journal. How can she keep her hair under control when she's playing football? Why is she so fast on the pitch yet so uncoordinated off it? And how will she ever convince Caiden to take an interest in her?
Then Lara's journal is leaked for everyone at school to see. She is so mortified she decides she'll never leave her bedroom again!
Can her friends help her to uncover the truth and set Lara back on track?

| Finally, Transworld has pre-empted a “thrilling” real-world fantasy by début novelist Gareth Brown. Simon Taylor, editorial director, bought UK and Commonwealth rights to The Book of Doors and a second novel from Harry Illingworth at D H H Literary Agency in “a major deal”, fighting off other significant pre-empt attempts and offers. Bantam will publish in hardback, e-book and audio in the UK in early 2024. |  |
Multiple international deals swiftly followed, including pre-empts in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, while North American rights were acquired by David Pomerico for William Morrow through Helen Edwards of Helen Edwards Rights Agency in another significant deal. Rights have also been sold in Spain and Hungary.
