Like A House On Fire

'Acutely observed and brilliantly funny' CLARE MACKINTOSH

'A triumph of a novel' BETH O'LEARY

Things Stella and Jack have had blazing rows about:

• Misquoting Jurassic Park.

• Leaving a Coke can on the side of the bath.

• Fitting car seats for their hypothetical kids.

In other news, they're getting divorced.

But first, Stella's mum is throwing a murder mystery party and - with her dad losing his job, her mum's recent diagnosis, and some very odd behaviour from her sister - now is not the time to tell everyone.

All Stella and George have to do is make it through the day without their break-up being discovered - though it will soon turn out that having secrets runs in the family...

“I loved The Adults ! Funny, dry and beautifully observed . Highly recommended for anyone whose Perfect Christmases never quite go according to plan! - Gill Sims, author of Why Mummy Drinks I took this book on holiday and couldn't put it down! I found myself feeling tense as I became more and more invested in the unfolding drama of the weekend away. I've never read anything quite like it and Posey was a highlight. I loved it . I couldn't believe it was a debut. It was so funny , and intriguing and I was desperate to know where it was all heading - a great read... - Mike Gayle, author of THE MAN I THINK I KNOW”
