Stepping Up | Sarah Turner
Sarah Turner

Sarah Turner lives in Exeter with her husband, three sons and Frank the cat.


She dabbled in careers in finance and higher education before a warts and all parenting blog she started to let off steam gathered unexpected momentum. She has since written four Sunday Times bestsellers: The Unmumsy Mum, The Unmumsy Mum Diary, The Unmumsy Mum A-Z and her debut novel, Stepping Up, which was a Richard & Judy Book Club pick in 2023. Her second novel, On the Edge, was a no. 1 Kindle bestseller. Her third novel, Well, That Escalated Quickly, is out now! Sarah is also a Writing Coach at The Novelry.

Well, That Escalated Quickly

Meet Fran. This is her to-do list:

buy milk
get promoted
book dentist
swerve PTA meeting
practice gratitude
be a better friend
stop crying in Morrisons
rescue relationship
organise life
stop keeping secrets

Not on her to-do list? Being made redundant when she was expecting a promotion. And when one tiny, impulsive decision leads Fran to tell a lie she can’t quite keep up with, suddenly everything starts to unravel. But could rock bottom be a golden opportunity instead of a complete and utter disaster?

With the help of her friends and family, Fran's about to blow her life wide open…and start piecing it back together. Her way.

Well, That Escalated Quickly is a hilarious, painfully relatable novel about the magic of what happens when you finally stop trying to have it all.
