Kerry Fisher

This book is a wonderful combination of intense emotions and glorious humour. Three families move into a gated housing estate and we get to know them as they try to work each other out. The juicy characters with intriguing secrets curate their social media lives, whilst their real lives tell a different, more complicated story.

It is fascinating to observe how these characters portray themselves on the internet, whilst we have insight into their real lives too. A very interesting comment on something I’m sure we’re all guilty of at times.

The plot is so perfectly paced that I couldn’t bear to put it down. I have loved every one of Kerry Fisher’s books and look forward to more!

S E Lynes

S E Lynes does not miss a beat in this brilliant book. The pacing is faultless from the moment we meet Samantha and Peter in Rome (so exquisitely described I could see the crumbling monuments) to the final, deeply satisfying scene.

I was emotionally invested from the first chapter where the characters are drawn with such clarity and skill that I felt I knew them.

The message in this book is important. What Lynes says about relationships, power, control and friendships, about our past experiences and how they mould us will stay with me for a long, long time.

Clare Pooley

In this brilliant memoir Clare Pooley writes about overcoming alcohol addiction and breast cancer in a funny, brutally honest and uplifting way. This book is based on the blog (Mummy was a secret Drinker) which she began at the start of her journey to sobriety. It is very reminiscent of Bridget Jones, with the added poignancy of being true. I can see how this book has changed lives.
