STAR PEOPLE
A novel by Paul Madden
One client could change his life - or ruin it forever.
Will Turner is a therapist in London with a well-ordered life, a loyal circle of friends, and a wife he's building a family with through IVF. He's steady, controlled - someone who listens more than he speaks. But when a close friend asks him to take on a new client, everything begins to shift.
Because the client is one of the most recognisable actors in the world.
At first, Will believes he can handle it. Keep things professional. Stick to the boundaries. But as the therapy sessions deepen, and the actor's vulnerabilities start to mirror his own, Will finds himself pulled into a web of blurred lines and uncomfortable truths.
At home, the strain of IVF is pushing his marriage to its limits. At work, his identity as a helper begins to crack under the pressure. And at the centre of it all lies a question he can't avoid: who is he really helping - his client, or himself?
Told with sharp insight, humour, and emotional depth, Star People is a story about intimacy, identity, and what happens when we give too much of ourselves away in the name of care.
Perfect for readers who enjoy contemporary fiction with psychological depth, complex relationships, and characters navigating life's most personal thresholds.
