Helly Acton joins Jo to discuss her book, The Shelf.

Six women. Four weeks. One TV show. Who will be left on The Shelf?

Everyone in Amy's life seems to be getting married (or so Instagram tells her), and she feels like she's falling behind. So, when her boyfriend surprises her with a dream holiday to a mystery destination, she thinks this is it - he's going to pop the Big Question.

But the dream turns into a nightmare when she finds herself on the set of a Big Brother-style reality television show, The Shelf.

Along with five other women, Amy is dumped live on TV and must compete in a series of humiliating and obnoxious tasks in the hope of being crowned 'The Keeper'. Will Amy's time on the show make her realise there are worse things in life than being left on the shelf?

This week鈥檚 大象传媒 Music Introducing recommendation comes from Sarah Gosling, covering the south west, and she鈥檚 selected Sukie - Fruit.
