‘Perfect for resetting a glum January mindset’ Alexandra Heminsley
‘My kind of role model’ Ben Fogle
Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run.
That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years.
In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspirational stories, research and tips that show how exercise often can be the best medicine. This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say ‘jog on’ to your problems and get your life back on track – no matter how small those first steps may be.

Review:'Bella's brilliant love letter to running turns into an extraordinarily brave and frank account of her battle with anxiety. This is a compassionate and important book which presents running as a simple but effective antidote to an anxious world' Joe Lycett; 'A heartfelt and joyous ode to the strange, wonderful pull of a pair of ugly trainers, tight fitting Polyester, the rainy, windy open road and the peace and clarity it brings. Anyone that runs will love this book' Dermot O'Leary; 'A very relatable book' Philippa Perry; 'Sport and exercise are important for both body and mind. Jog On is one person's brutally honest and insightful account of how running had a positive impact on their mental health' Jimmy Anderson; 'A brilliant, compassionate insight into both mental illness and exercise, Bella Mackie's Jog On will act as a comfort - and a spur - to so many. It is kind, it is honest and it will make you finally pull on those trainers and get moving. It will also - and this is so important - help you to understand what those experiencing anxiety endure' Lynn Enright'; 'Hilarious, poignant and inspiring, Jog On is part homage to running, part self-help guide to conquering your fears. Using her own story, and others', Bella shows how we can change our lives one step at a time' NetGalley. About the Author: Bella Mackie has written for the Guardian, Vogue and Vice.

How to Kill Your Family: A Novel

Amazon.com Review\nAn Amazon Best Book of August 2022: As titles go, you’d be hard pressed to find one as provocative, or apt, as How to Kill Your Family. Grace is sitting in a prison cell, recounting why she killed her family (her dad, a rich heir, refused the wishes of her poor dying mum to get involved in Grace’s life) and listing the much more entertaining hows (locations including, but not limited to, a steam room in Monaco, a mountain road in Marbella, and a sex club in London’s East End). But the standout moments in this darkly hilarious novel are those spent inside Grace’s head as she moves with deadly and detached efficiency through her to-do (or, more accurately, to-kill) list of awful family members. Her running commentary (on everything from prep work for killing someone, the class divide, unsolicited penis pics, wearing cords, and influencers) is sharp as a tack and spit-out-your-coffee comical. This twisted, darkly funny thriller will fill the Dexter-shaped hole in your heart. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor\nA darkly humorous debut novel that follows a cunning antihero as she gets her revenge\nWhen I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing.\nWhen Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge and coldly sets out to get her retribution—by killing them all, one by one. Compulsively readable, Bella Mackie’s debut novel is driven by a captivating first-person narrator who talks of “self-care” and social media while calmly walking the reader through her increasingly baroque acts of murder. But then, Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit.\nOutrageously funny, compulsive, and subversive, How to Kill Your Family is a wickedly dark romp about class, family, love . . . and murder.

1. Tuer ma famille 
2. Réclamer leur héritage 
3. M’en sortir 
4. Adopter un chien\nTelle est la liste des priorités de Grace Bernard, anglaise, vingt-huit ans, des Louboutin aux pieds. Sauf que, en ce moment et à son grand regret, elle arbore plutôt l’uniforme terne et plastique de la prison de Limehouse. Comme quoi, planifier l’assassinat de chacun des membres de sa famille dès le tendre âge de treize ans n’est pas toujours gage de réussite. Et franchement, se voir condamner pour un meurtre que l’on n’a pas commis lorsqu’on en a mené à bien six autres, cela manque un peu de panache. Mais pas question pour Grace de se coltiner sa pénible compagne de cellule jusqu’à la fin des temps : elle compte bien l’emporter en appel et, d’ici là, quelle meilleure manière de s’occuper que de coucher son histoire sur le papier ? Même si, bien sûr, personne ne la lira. Rappelez-vous les points 2 à 4.\nAvec ce premier thriller pétri d’humour noir, Bella Mackie dresse le portrait d’une génération luttant, à sa manière, contre les injustices qui lui sont faites. Un récit jubilatoire, et surtout, une 
lecture inoubliable.\nTraduit de l’anglais (Royaume-Uni) par Marie Chivot-Buhler\n« Un thriller jubilatoire plein d’humour noir sur une génération qui lutte contre les injustices qui lui sont faites. » France Dimanche
