Zoë Foster Blake’s new novel, Things Will Calm Down Soon, has been optioned for a small screen series.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Welcome to the hectic world of beauty and business in this highly relatable novel following a talented hair stylist turned entrepreneur juggling family dramas, workplace near-catastrophes and relationship crises. Things will calm down soon…right?
Hair stylist Kit Cooper is at the top of her game. She does the shows in Milan and Paris, tends to pop stars and celebrities, and has styled enough campaigns and magazine covers to last a lifetime. But Kit is ambitious. Restless. She can’t help asking: what’s next?
One day, frustrated she can’t find the perfect product for a look, she wonders … could she make it herself?
Things Will Calm Down Soon takes Kit from idea to founder of a highly successful hair-care company. Amid spreadsheets, influencers, product launches and a parade of potential investors, Kit is juggling an eager young team, needy family members, a charismatic but unreliable romantic partner, single parenting and far too many school WhatsApp messages. She is certain – positive – things will calm down soon, because how can life possibly keep going at this pace?
