Synopsis

All She Wants is a laugh out loud story about a Liverpool girl who becomes a famous soap star, by Coronation Street scriptwriter Jonathan Harvey.

'A mad-cap, laugh-out-loud roller coaster of a ride . . . with an unexpectedly tender sting in the tail.' - Marian Keyes, author of The Break


There are some things in life you can always rely on. Living in the shadow of your ‘perfect’ brother Joey, getting the flu over Christmas, and your Mother showing you up in the supermarket.

Then there are some things you really don’t count on happening: a good dose of fame, getting completely trashed at an awards ceremony, and catching your fella doing something unmentionable on your wedding day.

This is my story, it’s dead tragic. You have been warned . . .

'Utterly original, sharply written and very funny. I laughed, and then I laughed. And then I had to go back and re-read the bits that I'd missed and laugh some more.' - Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You

‘Hugely Enjoyable’ – comedian Kathy Burke.

A mad-cap, laugh-out-loud roller coaster of a ride through the life of an actress/soapstar, with an unexpectedly tender sting in the tail.
All She Wants is utterly original, sharply written and very funny. I laughed, and then I laughed. And then I had to go back and re-read the bits that I'd missed and laugh some more.
Such a sustained tour de force. Jodie is a brilliant character - so much comedy and heart, moving seamlessly from farce to drama.
