Perfect Bound

Part memoir, part manifesto for living from the woman who redefined how-to titles for the 21st century

Having suffered the unimaginable loss of her first husband and child, Lindsay Nicholson worked her way up to become the most successful lifestyle magazine editor in Britain. But when a would-be suicide ran in front of her car, the pages of her picture-perfect life fell apart once more.

In just one year, Lindsay lost her marriage, job and home, and was even arrested. Suicidal and suffering from profound PTSD, she tried medication, therapy and New Age courses – until she found the answers she was looking for in the pages of her former magazine. Following the wisdom they dispensed, Lindsay came to realise that life isn’t about being perfect. It’s the mess of friendship, laughter and the little things that truly matter.

By turns deeply moving, inspiring and sharply funny, Perfect Bound is an unforgettable story about resilience, recovery and remembering what really makes life worth living.
