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

"Brilliant: so funny, so sad, so scary" Jacqueline Wilson

"It will resonate for all women, and it's so much fun" Marian Keyes

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.

About the Author

Holly started her writing career as a journalist, then spent six years working as an editor, a relationship advisor, and 'agony aunt' for a youth charity. Inspired by what she saw, she started writing teen fiction, including the best-selling, award-winning 'Spinster Club' series which helps educate teenagers about feminism. At thirty, Holly wrote her first adult novel, examining the pressures on women. Holly has a keen interest in women's rights and is an advocate for reducing the stigma of mental health problems. She's helped create online apps that teach young people about sexual consent and is an ambassador for Women's Aid.
