Katie is determined to exact her revenge on Demeter, but in the process she learns that Demeter’s life isn’t what she always assumed, either.

Her time in London seems like another life-until Demeter shows up, family in tow, to spend a relaxing holiday in a yurt. She spends her days helping them run an upscale glamorous camping, or glamping, business and applying for every marketing job she can find. But when Demeter fires Katie, she's forced to move back home to live with her father and stepmother in Somerset. When Katie develops a flirtation-or maybe more-with her cute co-worker, she thinks things may be looking up. She’s barely making it financially, living with terrible roommates, and trying desperately to impress her boss, Demeter. But behind her perfectly curated Instagram account, life isn’t actually as great as she’d like it to be. She’s reinvented herself as Cat, works at a hip branding agency, and left behind her not-so-posh accent.
