Pop A

What if the most honest, intimate thing five women shared wasn't their secrets — but their skin?

When Cara Mackenzie discovers a spot on her shoulder she can't quite reach, she does what any sensible thirty-four-year-old would do: she texts her best friend. What follows is the hilarious, surprisingly tender, and deeply relatable story of five women — a marketing manager, a teacher, a GP, an accountant, and a photographer — who discover that their shared passion for something nobody talks about is the very thing holding their friendship together.

POP! is a witty, warm-hearted novel about female friendship in your thirties, the small private rituals that keep us sane, and the radical act of paying attention to yourself. Across monthly "Support Group" meetings, a homemade taxonomy of spot types, an annual competitive event with laminated score cards, and a group chat that never quite got around to reading books, these five women build something extraordinary — the kind of friendship where nothing is too embarrassing, no mirror too magnifying, and no one ever has to explain themselves.

Part The Wilder Widows, part Fleabag, entirely its own thing — POP! is a love letter to the women who simply, completely, and without any further explanation, get it.

You are not alone. You are, in fact, the majority.
