About this Event

Join us for an evening with Sunday Times bestselling author, journalist and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon as she discusses her debut novel People Pleaser – a fiercely funny, instantly relatable, and utterly feel-good novel about the pressures women feel to please everyone at the expense of their own happiness.

“You’re so desperate to make everybody else happy that you’ve forgotten what makes you happy. You’ve not just forgotten it, you’ve abandoned it, on a bonfire full of all your other hopes and dreams. A bonfire you’re too scared to light in case the neighbours report you to the council.”

After a bitter career disappointment and subsequent raucous night out, chronic people pleaser Olivia Greenwood embarks on a wild and hilarious journey of inner awakening…

Bryony is the author of the bestselling The Wrong Knickers and Mad Woman, plus the Sunday Times No.1 bestsellers You Got This and Mad Girl, which were both nominated for British Book Awards. She is a passionate advocate for mental health in the media, which she explores through her weekly Daily Mail column and her podcast The Life of Bryony. In 2017 she was awarded the MIND Making A Difference Award and the Royal College of Psychiatrist’s President’s Medal in 2023 for her work in mental health.

Bryony will be signing copies after the event.
