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 day, 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 harder 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 listen to three times, then give to every woman in your life.

Absolutely brilliant, loved every second
I’m already a huge fan of Holly Bourne, but this story was extra excellent. It struck many cords but also feels like a key piece of writing for women, mothers and future mothers. I absolutely loved it. Bring on more adult fiction by Holly!

Good premise, relatable, funny, slightly annoying
The story is enticing and relatable, with good twists and turns. Find some of the narrator’s a little irritating (might have been better reading a hard back), and some of the writing is a little plain or immature. I get that the book is about miscommunication but I found some of the lack of communication so unbelievable it was annoying. Lots of good laugh out loud moments which made it overall enjoyable. Overall a good easy read.

Brutally honest account of early motherhood.
Great listen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved Lauren and the friendship group. Maybe not one for people thinking about starting a family.

A very well told drama
I really enjoyed the multiple perspectives and thought all four characters were really well realised. The character Nikki was absolutely awful! A terrible villain. All the others were very multifaceted. The story is gripping and kept me hooked to the end. The ending was a bit disappointing but not enough to ruin the book for me.
The narration was really good except for Nikki’s voice which was bizarre. She sounded like she had an extremely blocked nose and was putting on a really odd accent. She couldn’t pronounce any vowels properly? She said ‘foot’ like futt it went on with every oo/u sound and was so jarring!!

Would’ve made a good mumsnet thread
Engaging story with interesting (if a bit cliched) characters. The author has clearly taken inspiration from Janice Hallet in the interview/evidence sections but it felt a bit forced.
Some sections were a bit repetitive.
Narrators were good - although Steffi became Australian at one point. Not sure what that was about!

A darkly hilarious twisty tale of motherhood and friendship
Races through this brilliantly performed audiobook which is a searingly honest and darkly funny whodunnit about a baby shower, the friends who are there and of the way that motherhood - or lack of it - affects them all.
