One conference. One missing boss. Absolutely no adult supervision.

Caroline Arora is the invisible glue holding her team together. But when her charismatic boss vanishes during a high-stakes conference, she’s left managing an imploding group of remarkably clever people who are also capable of behaving incredibly stupidly.

With a make-or-break performance looming and someone very senior watching closely, Caroline can no longer hide in the background. As she leads a chaotic search, she uncovers the personal crisis her boss has been hiding.

To save her team from being dismantled, Caroline must stop quietly holding things together from the shadows, step into the spotlight, and become the leader they truly need.

For readers who enjoy the uplifting ensemble dynamics of The People on Platform 5, the moving human quirks of Anxious People, and the brilliant farce of The Play That Goes Wrong.

About the author

Clara Ville writes warm, funny contemporary fiction about ordinary people dealing with extraordinary levels of chaos. Her stories combine British humour, workplace absurdity and characters who discover they are capable of rather more than they thought.

Her debut novel, Invisible Glue, was inspired by years of experience around corporate sales conferences and the strange things that happen when otherwise sensible adults are put under one roof.
