Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding is a lively, witty adventure from the bestselling author of Bridget Jones’s Diary. In this playful and fast-paced novel, Fielding introduces Olivia Joules — a glamorous, bold, and slightly paranoid journalist-turned-spy with a flair for getting herself into outrageous situations.
When Olivia meets the mysterious and dangerously attractive Pierre Ferramo — a man with a questionable French accent and an aura of international intrigue — her infamous overactive imagination goes into overdrive. Could Ferramo be a suave playboy, or is he actually a terrorist mastermind plotting against the Western world? Olivia isn’t one to ignore her instincts (no matter how unlikely they seem), and soon she’s caught up in a whirlwind mission spanning glamorous locations, high-speed getaways, and perilous underwater adventures.
This novel is a quirky, tongue-in-cheek spoof of the classic espionage thriller, peppered with humour, glamour, and eccentric characters. Perfect for readers who enjoy light-hearted mysteries, female-led adventures, and a good dose of satire.
