About this listen
‘Addictive writing wrapped up in a compelling page turner that makes you deeply think and feel’ YOMI ADEGOKE
'An incisive new voice in fiction' COCO MELLORS
We give celebrities a power they don’t deserve. Power they haven’t earned. What happens when they exploit it?
Imagine you’ve just spent the night with the most famous man on the planet. Except you don’t quite remember it. That is what happens to Rose, a twenty-something woman who seemingly has everything going for her.
Working for one of the most powerful news outlets in the country, Rose spends her days doing PR for glossy magazines. There are tedious spreadsheets, fashion divas, and many A-list parties. It’s at one of those parties where she meets Milo Jax, the world-famous, globally adored, British pop sensation. An unlikely flirtation turns into an even more unlikely evening and then Rose wakes up, unable to piece it all together. What happens next changes everything.
Gold Rush is a story about consent, celebrity culture, and trying to figure out where women fit in a world that consistently devalues and disrespects their bodies.
'Powerful, nuanced, richly drawn and skilfully done, Gold rush will stay with me for a long time’ LAUREN BRAVO

Important and well told!
Really thought provoking!
Very clever storytelling about an issue that is not discussed enough and impacts many.

phenomenonal
Blown away. Never have I read a book that more accurately and painfully encapsulated the naive yet heart-wrenching low-key brutality of my 20s. Olivia Petter is a genius. This is one of my favourite books now and I will re-read it. It's tender, heartfelt and wise. A triumph.

Didn’t get on with this
I really wanted to like this book and appreciate the themes would have been difficult to write about but the whole book didn’t seem to gel together well and some of the plot lines didn’t quite make sense. At times, some of the story arcs felt a bit borrowed from a Jacqueline Wilson book to try and make the main character more relatable even though she was clearly very privileged.

Disappointing
Dull and disjointed with poor narration. Kept thinking it would get better but it didn’t unfortunately.
