Unputdownable from the very first page, The Trivia Night was
spookily familiar, funny, and darkly captivating. I loved it
*Sally Hepworth*
Gossip, scandal and intrigue - this twisty tale is deliciously
naughty and addictive. A great new voice in fiction.
*Veronica Henry*
A delicious read that takes a social event many of us have
experienced - the innocuous school trivia night - and infuses it
with bad decisions, illicit desire and danger. Perceptive,
suspenseful and all too realistic, you will see yourself in these
characters and be at once shocked and understanding of their
actions.
*B.M. Carroll*
Sex, lies and intrigue abound in this gripping and often hilarious
story of suburban marriages in crisis, self discovery and school
gates culture. If you've ever wondered about swinging, if you're
dying to find out what a school parents' partner swap looks like,
if you love a glimpse into the seemingly perfect lives of others,
this is the absorbing weekend binge read for you
*Anna Downes*
Sexy, funny, excruciating - a smart thriller about couples and
school gate neurosis. I couldn't put this down
*Harriet Walker*
An addictive read about marriage, friendships, parent politics and
the consequences of one unexpectedly wild night at a school
fundraiser. I loved the voices of the three different women who
tell the story and the secrets, lies and scandals that unfold
irresistibly throughout
*Helen Cooper*
Light and curly rather than dark and twisty, this is a clever,
witty, wonderfully observed satire on the bitchiness, rivalries and
friendships that flourish when our children go to school - not in
the playground, but at the school gate. I recognised so many of the
characters that I could have sworn Ali Lowe had been eavesdropping
on my friends and reporting the scandals at my local primary
school.
*Michael Robotham*
A salacious yet recognisable dilemma that examines the consequences
of bringing your secret desires to life . . . Exploring what
actually happens when you attempt to make your fantasies a reality,
this was a thoroughly entertaining, engaging read that I finished
in one weekend. I loved it!
*Jacqueline Bublitz*
If you have to put one book on your TBR pile in the next few
months, make it this one. It has it all: secrets and lies, toxic
school dynamics, relationship issues and a deadly quiz night . . .
Gave me major Liane Moriarty vibes
