Book Synopsis

Do you ever feel like you have no idea what you''re doing in life - and wonder if you just didn''t get the memo?

Jenny Green is dreading her Class of 2007 reunion. While her friends are killing it, Jenny''s promising career as an artisanal baker went up in flames (literally) and her deadbeat, commitment-phobe boyfriend is cheating on her with their swishy-ponytailed neighbour. She feels like she didn''t get the memo... As it turns out, she didn''t.

Begrudgingly back at university, she receives a text from an unlisted number: Jenny Green - please collect your memo. Hidden on her old campus is a secret female-led organisation providing memos to select students; blueprints for success.

The first time around, Jenny didn''t receive hers. Now she''s being given a second chance - the opportunity to rewrite her past, undo her worst mistakes and fix her mess of a life. But at what price?

A hilarious, achingly relatable, bittersweet and addictive page-turner about lifelong friendships, new loves, second chances and what it really means to live your best life. The Memo will enchant fans of Dolly Alderton''s Ghosts and Rebecca Serle''s In Five Years.

Rave reviews for The Memo:

''Insanely entertaining, hilarious, and ingenious! The Memo had me cry-laughing so hard that my husband had to move to another room. My only complaint about The Memo is I wish I''d gotten my hands on it sooner. To think of what could have been!'' Jenny Mollen, author of City of Likes

''Don''t miss The Memo. A unique and riveting novel about a chance to redo your ''what ifs''. You will love this narrator and be pulling for her. What a ride!'' New York Times bestselling Laura Dave, author of The Last Thing He Told Me

''A total joyride of a novel. The Memo is a funny, fascinating exploration of love, friendship, ambition, and what it truly means to live a good life. I loved it'' J Courtney Sullivan, bestselling author Friends and Strangers

''Smart, sharp, darkly funny, and every woman''s fantasy: the chance to course-correct a life full of flawed decisions with the help of a memo. What could possibly go wrong?! I loved The Memo and the brilliant imaginations of Lauren Mechling and Rachel Dodes that created it'' Laura Zigman, bestselling author of Separation Anxiety

''This book is hilarious! It had me cackling and reading sentences out loud to my pet rabbit'' Nell Freudenberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Newlyweds
