Sarah Jost


Switzerland

Sarah Jost was born and grew up in Switzerland, against the backdrop of Lake Geneva and the Alps. She moved to the UK in 2008 to learn English for a year and somehow didn't manage to leave. She now works as a French teacher and pastoral manager in a girls' school, which she considers an immersive course in character study. Her debut novel One Last Chance (UK) / Five First Chances (US) is out in April 2023. Some of her favourite themes are art, empathy, female protagonists with space to grow, love stories in all shapes and quirky animals. Sarah lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband Luke and their adorable (and hard to keep up with!) golden shepherd Winnie.

The Happiness Blueprint (2024)
Ally Zetterberg
"A hopeful, honest debut novel filled with individual, tender and layered characters you will grow irremediably attached to. I was rooting for Klara and Alex from page one and continued to think of them as my friends long after finishing the last chapter. The Happiness Blueprint is the best kind of romcom, one that embraces not only the search for connection, but also neuro-diversity, loneliness, grief and the complexities of life, and shows us that everybody's experience and happiness matter. I also really enjoyed the main character's firsthand expat experience and how authentic it felt. A great read - I couldn't recommend it enough!"
