Devilishly clever and beautifully written -- Alice Clark-Platts Little Nothings delivers some searing and uncomfortable truths about motherhood and female friendship. Beautifully drawn characters, thrown together in the pressure cooker nightmare that is a group holiday. Entirely and chillingly relatable -- Sarah J. Naughton A fun page-turner set on a Greek island paradise… This book balances edge-of-your-seat tension with gossipy fun as the friendships turn toxic, leading to a disturbing twist at the end. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Louise Candlish * Weekend Australian * Julie Mayhew so expertly feeds your dislike of the villainess that when our protagonist, Liv, gets together with a new friend and plans her murder, you're totally on board, if a bit taken aback by the enthusiasm you feel... Mayhew certainly gives Liane Moriarty a run for her money * New Zealand Listener * Mayhew is brilliant on women and the complex ways in which their relationships can turn destructive. A true single-sitting read -- Alex Marwood A well-written, absorbing story that cleverly illustrates the psychological impact of nurturing a true enemy in your midst -- Rachel Abbott
