An exhilarating, edgy, roller coaster of a story from start to finish. The High Moments is a fascinating window into the bright lights - and underbelly - of the fashion industry, with fabulously honest, fast-paced writing that sucks you in, spins you around and leaves you feeling breathless by the end. A complete thrill to read!
HELLY ACTON, Author of THE SHELF
"I read this in less than a day – I was obsessed with the insight into the murky world of modelling, and the way Sara-Ella explores the feelings of "other" that can consume so much of our twenties. It's a must-read for everyone who had ever dreamt of being a somebody. One of the most seductive and accomplished debuts I have ever read."
LAURA JANE WILLIAMS, Author of OUR STOP
The High Moments is a beautiful, messed-up mash-up of The Devil Wears Prada and Fleabag. Set in the seedy underbelly of the high octane world of fashion, modelling and Instagram influencers, Scarlett is the perfect heroine for our times. Essential reading for anyone relieved to be done with their twenties and a cautionary tale for those who are still living them!
SARRA MANNING, Author of RESCUE ME
Brilliantly highlights the insecurities of being a young woman and not feeling like you've 'become' anything yet - it also shows the darkness and toxicity that can linger behind a so-called 'dream' job. It made me feel uncomfortable, and made me laugh - a sign of a good book
