About this audiobook
If you could be anyone – who would you be?
Beth Greenwood has always imagined being someone else. Someone more successful, more exciting. More alive. What would it really be like to walk in another person’s shoes – just for a day?
And then she gets the chance to do it, with the help of the Players Club. A secret group of women who have made it their mission to let one another live their dreams. Tell them who you want to try, and they will make it happen. Circus acrobat, traffic controller, woman-who-shops-in-Chanel: no identity is out of reach. Being alive has never been so much fun.
That is, until the stakes of Beth’s own life become dangerously high, and the line between self-invention and self-delusion begins to blur. Torn between her new friends and her real responsibilities, Beth has to ask herself: when it matters most, who does she really want to be?
Smart, original, and full of heart, The Players Club will bring your imagination to life and get your book club group talking…
‘Clever, brilliant and magnificent. In the absence of being able to join a Cradle, the next best thing is reading this’ CATHY RENTZENBRINK, author of Ordinary Time
'Twisty and thought-provoking…this book will make you smile, cry and wonder: who do I want to become?' TARA CONKLIN, author of The Last Romantics
‘Funny and heartbreaking and smart. I loved it’ SAM BAKER, author of The Shift
