I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue

The laugh-out-loud, not-to-be-missed debut of 2024

Would you want to know what your colleagues say behind your back?

Meet Jolene.

She’s socially awkward, depressed and hates her work colleagues. Due to a serious IT error, she’s also just been granted access to all of their emails and private messages. She knows she should tell HR, but finds it hard to resist knowing what they all really think of her…

When her access informs her of forthcoming redundancies, Jolene realises she could wield her new-found knowledge even more powerfully. But the more she learns about the people she spends most of her waking hours with, the harder she finds it to hate them. In the end, Jolene will have to decide if she can keep living her life between the lines of an email, or whether she’s ready to experience the world she’s avoided for so long.

For readers who loved The Office US and Really Good, Actually comes the awkward heroine you’re about to fall in love with
