What does it mean to be authentic? In a world where life is lived more in the virtual than in the real world, does authenticity have any value or meaning? These are questions that are raised – and answered – in this warm and uplifting debut novel. It is a book that plays with your emotions, causing you to flit between championing the characters to wanting to slap them. Definitely worth the read
What would happen if they told the truth instead?
Julian Jessop is tired of hiding the deep loneliness he feels. So he begins The Authenticity Project – a small green notebook containing the truth about his life.
Leaving the notebook on a table in his friendly neighbourhood café, Julian never expects Monica, the owner, to track him down after finding it. Or that she’ll be inspired to write down her own story.
Little do they realise that such small acts of honesty hold the power to impact all those who discover the notebook and change their lives completely.
