Introducing… The Angry Wives Club!
Welcome to Shellwater Bay … where the sea is calm, the scenery perfect … and three women are quietly planning a revolution.
Joany appears to have the perfect life, but behind closed doors, she’s hiding a dangerous secret. Heather thought her marriage was rock-solid until her husband demands a divorce. Steph is raising kids with a man who thinks ‘helping out’ means calling his mother.
Bonded at their gym by sweat and fury, the three women start asking the hard questions: About the relationships they’re in, the rules they’ve obeyed, and the silent bargains they’ve made to keep the peace.
But peace has its price. And when the simmering rage starts to bubble over, these new friends decide a crime or two is in order …
With sharp wit, heartfelt empathy and unflinching honesty, The Angry Wives Club is a story of women doing things differently – breaking cycles, reclaiming power, and discovering what happens when female friendship becomes the most radical act of all….
The Angry Wives Club is domestic noir with a chick-lit twist: a story of laughter, sisterhood, and women daring to do things differently. Perfect for fans of Jane Caro’s The Mother and Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies.
Okay – so that’s the official blurb but tell me… honestly – what do you think? Do you like it? Would you buy it? Would you read it?
Are you as excited as I am? (Not possible.)
If you’re super keen, you can pre-order here. (Yeah, I’ve pre-ordered !)
Otherwise, The Angry Wives Club (published by the supersonic team at Allen & Unwin) will be available wherever books are sold on 31 March. Mark your calendars and set reminders on your phone – let the countdown begin!
Take care,
You matter.
