`Addictive writing wrapped up in a compelling page turner that makes you deeply think and feel' YOMI ADEGOKE
'An incisive new voice in fiction' COCO MELLORS We give celebrities a power they don't deserve. Power they haven't earned. What happens when they exploit it? Imagine you've just spent the night with the most famous man on the planet. Except you don't quite remember it. That is what happens to Rose, a twenty-something woman who seemingly has everything going for her. Working for one of the most powerful news outlets in the country, Rose spends her days doing PR for glossy magazines. There are tedious spreadsheets, fashion divas, and many A-list parties. It's at one of those parties where she meets Milo Jax, the world-famous, globally adored, British pop sensation. An unlikely flirtation turns into an even more unlikely evening and then Rose wakes up, unable to piece it all together. What happens next changes everything. Gold Rush is a story about consent, celebrity culture, and trying to figure out where women fit in a world that consistently devalues and disrespects their bodies. 'Powerful, nuanced, richly drawn and skilfully done, Gold rush will stay with me for a long time' LAUREN BRAVO
