This Bird Has Flown (2023)
Susanna Hoffs
"In this sexy, page-turning treat, Susanna Hoffs writes as engagingly as she sings."
thumb
Pineapple Street (2023)
Jenny Jackson
"I loved Pineapple Street. The characters are complex and engaging and their stories bring a particular slice of New York magically alive. So wise, emotionally honest, and such fun!"
thumb
Payday (2021)
Celia Walden
"With complex female characters spiralling out of control, Payday is tense, full of twists, and impossible to put down."
