The Regulars by Georgia Clark

 

Wildly irreverent, blatantly sexy, and observed with pitch-perfect wit, The Regulars is a fresh and funny take on beauty and the modern woman.

Best friends Evie, Krista, and Willow are just trying to make it through their mid-twenties in New York. They’re regular girls, with average looks and typical quarter-life crises: making it up the corporate ladder, making sense of online dating, and making rent.

Until they come across Pretty, a magic tincture that makes them, well . . . gorgeous. Like, supermodel gorgeous. And it’s certainly not their fault if the sudden gift of beauty causes unexpected doors to open for them.

But there’s a dark side to Pretty, too, and as the gloss fades for these modern-day Cinderellas, there’s just one question left: 

What would you sacrifice to be Pretty?

The Regulars is out now in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the U.K, Italy, Germany, Latin America, Portugal and Brazil.

I filmed this segment during my Aussie press tour for The Regulars. The day before, my doctor found a lump on my breast. It turned out to be benign, but the experience was the catalyst for my next novel, The Bucket List. I had no idea it would lead to that at the time, of course: I’m just underslept and masking low-level terror. In the moment where I say, “The older we get, the more life dilemmas we face, and the more we get a sense of what it’s all about. Our bodies are here, and we’re blessed if they’re healthy, if they can move us around in this world,” I’m having a well-disguised existential meltdown.
