Promising Young Women

‘So brilliant . . . It couldn’t really be more timely . . . I highly recommend it’ Dolly Alderton ‘I loved it. The writing is whipsmart and so witty’ Marian Keyes Jane Peters is an adrift twenty-something by day, and a world-weary agony aunt by night. But when an office party goes too far, Jane dissolves into the high-stakes world of being the Other Woman: a role she has the right advice for, but not the smarts to follow through on. What starts out as a drunken mistake quickly unravels as Jane discovers that sex and power go hand-in-hand, and that it’s hard to keep your head when you’ve become someone else’s dirty little secret. And soon, her friendships, her sanity and even her life are put into jeopardy… ‘ Sharp, pithy and engaging ‘ Irish Times ‘ Brilliant ‘ Elle ‘Deeply relatable and darkly comic . . . It’ll have you nodding with familiarity, thinking, laughing – and crying – as you race towards the end ‘ Grazia ‘ A future classic ‘ Jane Casey ‘I loved PROMISING YOUNG WOMEN. It’s like Bluebeard crossed with THE YELLOW WALLPAPER neck-deep in zeitgeist. If Angela Carter was stuck in a soulless corporate job this would be the dark, delicious result ‘ Sharlene Teo, author of PONTI —- ISBN: 9780349018836
