Clare Palmer is stuck in a rut-her career's stalled, home life's a mess, and she's lost her spark. But everything changes when she discovers an unexpected talent: looking exactly like reality TV darling Jenna Cox.

'Engaging, devastating, humorous and believable. This book will tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone all at once.' Gillian Harvey

'The queen of fresh, funny, uplifting fiction...made me laugh out loud and properly cry' Frances Quinn

'Uplifting and at times heart-breaking, but ultimately packed with joy, humanity and real depth'. Eleni Kyriacou

'You always know you're going to get a good story with Nicola Gill, and Identity Crisis is no exception... It's heartwarming and funny.' - Laura Pearson author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont

Be yourself, people say. But the last person Clare Palmer wants to be is herself - she's lost everything she once had and now can barely get through a bus ride without wanting to thump someone. (People who don't wear headphones, sniffers, fried chicken guzzlers.)

So when she discovers her resemblance to beloved reality TV presenter Jenna Cox, Clare jumps at the chance to become a lookalike, earn some cash and get her life back together.

But it's all too easy to cross the line between celebrity lookalike and pretending to be the real Jenna - and becoming someone else is about to take Clare's life down a track that's even rockier than the one she's on…

'Identity Crisis is hilarious, heartbreaking and uncomfortably relatable. I loved it.' Nikki Smith

Nicola Gill lives in London. At the age of five, when all of the other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, she decided she wanted to be an author. Her ballet teacher was very relieved. When she's not at her desk, you can usually find Nicola reading, cooking up vast vats of food for friends and family or watching box sets. Occasionally she even leaves the house…
