The Cassandra complex

£14.99

Cassandra Penelope Dankworth is a creature of habit. She likes what she likes (museums, jumpsuits, her boyfriend Will) and strongly dislikes what she doesn’t (mess, change, her boss drinking out of her mug). Her life runs in a pleasing, predictable order. Until now. She’s just been dumped. She’s just been fired. Her local café has run out of banana muffins. Then, something truly unexpected happens: Cassie discovers she can go back and change the past. Now, Cassie should be able to find a way to fix the life she accidentally obliterated. And with time on her side, how hard can it be?

Description

THE HILARIOUS NEW REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK
Published in the USA as Cassandra in Reverse

If you had the power to change the past… where would you start?

Cassie has never really fitted in. She remembers everything. Understands nothing. And consistently says the wrong thing.

So when she gets dumped, fired AND her local café runs out of banana muffins – all in one day – it feels like the end of the world.

But then Cassie discovers she has the power to go back and change things.

With endless chances to get it right, can she stop it all from going wrong?

‘Witty, touching and totally absorbing’ Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project

Not your average story. Not your average character.
But fitting in is overrated. . .
