'Zo Foster Blake is inca pable of writing a false sentence. Every crackling page presents a new bone-deep, funny, wise and utterly brave insight into love, family and the breathless abyss of big business ... And what an extraordinary tale it is.' Trent Dalton ' Things Will Calm Down Soon is everything I want in a novel - a smart and engaging read that is so much more than the sum of its characters. Never heavy handed, yet brimming with wisdom, she has delivered a novel that will entertain, inspire and remain with you long after you've turned the last page.' Sally Hepworth 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?
