And you can find the USA version here:
Six strangers with one universal thing in common: their lives aren’t always what they make them out to be.
What would happen if they told the truth instead?
“A beautiful book with a poignant message, perfect for our time”
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.
Here are some of the nice things people have said about it…
“If you’re a fan of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, read this!”
“A sort of epistolary Love, Actually that feels like an antidote to the isolation of modern life”
“[A] wistful, humorous tale. . . a beautiful and illuminating story of self-creation”
“A well-suited subject for the Instagram era, this book makes you realize that no one’s life is what it seems.”
