"I loved everything about [Careering]. It's particularly brave and brilliant on female sexuality and the confusion and shame that can surround it, and how desperation to fit in can make you lose sight of who you are. . . . This thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent, hilarious, sexy and always sharp novel is a fabulous ride." --Daily Mail

"Careering by Daisy Buchanan is all of the important s's--smart, savvy and sexy. It speaks to the perception of a what a dream career is versus the harsh reality. . . . It's eminently relatable. All of the characters are fleshed out and serve a purpose to drive the plot forward and none are caricatures. There are moments when the book is LOL funny, and others when it is heartbreakingly sad." --Divine

"We are so ready for this book. Exploring the exhausting push-pull of trying to pin down a career you love but that doesn't love you back, Buchanan's book is set to capture the zeitgeist as so many of us question where we're at." --Stylist

"As in her debut novel, Insatiable, there's not a cringey metaphor in sight. The intimacy is so real that it feels a bit dirty to read it on the Tube--devour it at home instead." --Sunday Times

"Buchanan is a queen of acerbic wit and demonstrates an incredible talent for the dark comedy that so perfectly articulates the often poisonous power structures at play." --The Irish Times

"The zeitgeisty read tackles the myth of the girl boss, with feelings of imposter syndrome, burnout and comparison rife throughout. Though entertaining. . . the novel takes a hard look at the very real challenges women still face in the workplace today. With the events of the last two years making many question what really matters in life, Buchanan leaves you with the reminder that whether you love or loathe your job, it doesn't define who you are or put a value on your self-worth." --Stylist

"I read Careering in one greedy gulp, not by choice but because it is utterly unputdownable. It's so perceptive and wise about the media, privilege, the differing but equally troubling pressures that women of all ages face, while still being moving, laugh-out-loud funny and inspiring. I loved it." --Louise O'Neill

"There is no writer out there who can make you laugh and cry quite like Daisy Buchanan. As a longtime monster-fan of her writing, I can confidently say Careering is Buchanan's best book yet. Hilarious, astute and full of human truths, Careering is a compelling and thoughtful read that every woman (and man) should have on their shelves. Buchanan portrays women and their lives better than anyone and I came out the other side feeling thoroughly broken and yet somehow stronger than before. A really special book that I will be insisting everyone around me read, I cannot recommend it highly enough." --Lucy Vine

"Full of brilliant characters, loveable chaos and a world of magazine nostalgia. If you've ever had a job suck your soul, even slightly, you'll love it." --Emma Gannon

"Careering is, quite simply, the funniest novel I've read all year. A love story about work, self-worth and modern womanhood, it made me laugh so hard I woke up my son in the room next door. Daisy Buchanan manages to capture people, places and excruciating moments with such insight and wit it is a joy to behold and humbling to witness. Careering should be essential reading for anyone who's ever sat in a badly-lit media office and wondered what the hell they're doing with their life." --Nell Frizzell

"Blisteringly funny and painfully perceptive, with a warmth that radiates off the page, this book will speak straight to the heart of anyone who has ever felt like their own career is playing hard-to-get. Daisy has that magic gift of capturing the nuance and detail of a very specific world in such a way that it feels universally, eternally relatable. The writing is perfection and the characters so skilfully drawn that I found myself wanting to look them all up on LinkedIn afterwards. It's a triumph." --Lauren Bravo

"Daisy writes wonderfully about the paradox of being a pleasure-seeker in a body that the world has taught you to be ashamed of. Careering will strike such a chord with anyone who has ever walked to a job interview in trainers with a tote bag containing heels over their shoulder, feeling like an imposter." --Emma Hughes

"Careering is an absolute triumph. Daisy has woven an astute tale of ambition and its place in women's lives, putting words to feelings I've had for ages. How is it possible Daisy is so clever? This novel should be a must-read for everybody who has ever thought life will be better once their work rewards them. Spiler: it won't, and this novel makes it feel ok. Unmissable." --Laura Jane Williams

"Hilarious, acutely observant and completely engrossing." --Issy Suttie
