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