Brilliant, clever, such a pleasure to read . . . Her writing is as sharp as a scalpel and her judgement is savage (this is not a criticism) -- Marian Keyes The perfect lesson in backstabbing. Bitchy, sly, and twisty - what a ride -- Claire Fuller Chilling, witty and unputdownable - a superb revenge drama that peels away the facades of social media -- Lissa Evans I adored this deliciously wicked satire on the narcissistic, entitled and sanctimonious side of elite middle-class life. It's brilliantly witty and stingingly sharp, with all too recognisable people, places and products tied up in a much sadder if suspenseful story. It reminded me of both Anita Brookner and Saltburn as a tale of what privilege and luck look like to those who feel deprived of it. Other People's Fun deserves every success -- Amanda Craig The Jane Austen of the Instagram age on brilliant form -- Julie Burchill
