THEY'RE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. OR SO THEY SAY...

An intense heatwave. A high-stakes baby shower. Will it all end in tears?

Nicki, Lauren, Charlotte and Steffi have been friends since university. Now in their thirties, life is pulling them in different directions - but when Charlotte organises the baby shower of hell for pregnant Nicki, the girls are reunited. Under a sweltering hot summer day, tensions rise - and by the end of the evening, nothing will ever be the same. Someone started a fire at the house - and everyone's a suspect...

Is it Steffi, happily child-free but feeling judged by her friends? Is it Charlotte, desperate to conceive and jealous of those who have? Is it Lauren, who is finding motherhood far, far worse than she imagined? Or is it Nicki herself, who never wanted a baby shower anyway?

In the aftermath, the police put together the facts - but the truth will shock everyone. Even you.

BIG LITTLE LIES meets EXPECTATION in the incredible new novel from Holly Bourne - it's the book you'll want to read three times, then give to every woman in your life.

Industry Reviews

I enjoyed it so, SO MUCH. I was utterly GRIPPED. So many unexpected but wholly believable twists and turns. I think it will resonate for all women. Yet it's so much fun

Reading So Thrilled For You I found myself pulled into an all too familiar landscape where the pressures on women - mothers and non-mothers like - were so visceral and acute I had to close the book to gasp at times.

A wildly entertaining gut-punch of a novel, featuring a superbly drawn cast of raw, relatable women. Guaranteed to get people talking. Once you pick it up, you won't put it down! - Caz Frear

The best book I've ever read. Raw, relatable, riveting. Holly Bourne is the best contemporary novelist out there, bar none. This book is going to be a national, if not global, talking point

Captivating, brilliantly smart and heartbreakingly true. Holly has perfectly captured the underbelly of female friendship - the part that we aren't allowed to talk about. Every woman will feel seen in the pages of this book and I couldn't adore it more!

Holy HELL, this was incredible. Explosively entertaining and compulsively plotted but so sensitive, so nuanced and so, so needed. It does beautiful justice to life on all sides of the baby divide, and treats every character's perspective with such tenderness - but there's a blazing political fire at its heart. At times it felt like the postnatal therapy I can't afford . . .

Wow! Totally savage and wickedly funny

A hilarious, dark, raw and honest expose of early motherhood and friendship by Holly Bourne - her first adult thriller and it is a corker!
