About this audiobook
'A book to cancel plans for' BELLA
'An ode to sisterhood and sexuality... Utterly refreshing' HEAT
'Daisy Buchanan writes about all the chaos and conflict of being a young woman' Red
This good girl is naked on the internet...
By day, Frankie lives an ordinary life: doting daughter, supportive sister, adoring aunt and (mostly) capable colleague. The only trouble is that she also feels invisible.
So by night, Frankie creates her alter ego, uploading risqué photos to a small community of online fans. She becomes sexy, confident and, most importantly, anonymous.
That is, until Frankie's two worlds collide and she finds herself thrust into the limelight, along with her secret.
Overnight, she becomes both a feminist icon and a target; wanted and worthless; powerful and petrified. Suddenly all eyes are on her.
...but is she ready to bare it all?
Limelight is a funny, touching and provocative tale of sisterhood, sexuality and self-esteem. What would you gain - and lose - by being yourself, instead of who everyone wants you to be?
'Daisy Buchanan has that special something that makes a wonderful popular fiction writer - acute observational skills, huge empathy and a perfect balance of light and shade.' Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
'Buchanan works through big themes of power, sexuality, friendship and purpose with truly interesting and recognisable characters' Stylist
'Daisy Buchanan brings characters to life like no other writer' Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes
