Bestselling author Fiona Neill is back with The Good Girl - a dark, compelling and controversial novel of one family's darkest secrets. Praise for Fiona Neill: "The Good Girl raises all kinds of contemporary issues with wit and sensitivity." (Times). "Neill writes with verve, honesty and breathtaking insight. Utterly unputdownable." (Helen Walsh, author of The Lemon Grove). "Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before." (Vogue). "Packed with observations of wince-making accuracy." (The Times). "Sometimes touching, sometimes shocking...this cautionary coming-of-age tale is a thought-provoking one." (Daily Mail). "Clever, grown-up and totally gripping." (Lisa Jewell). "A topical, tense and addictive read." (Good Housekeeping). "Neill takes a light scalpel to online disaster in this exceptional dual-narrative." (Grazia). "Two families become embroiled in each other's lives and long buried secrets are unravelled. Contemporary issues are tackled here with both humour and realism, making for an engrossing read." (My Weekly). "Cracking." (Prima). "The Slummy Mummy columnist is back - this time, somewhat incongruously, with a psychological thriller. The Good Girl looks set to be the next Gone Girl, with its dark compelling exploration of family secrets.

A confronting look at the way that one moment of malice on social media can spiral out of control." (Seven Books to Read, House Seven).

For Lucy Sweeney, motherhood isn't all astanga yoga and Cath Kidston prints. It's been years since the dirty laundry pile was less than a metre high, months since Lucy remembered to have sex with her husband, and a week since she last did the school run wearing pyjamas. Motherhood, it seems, has more pitfalls than she might have expected. Caught between perfectionist Yummy Mummy No 1 and hypercompetitive Alpha Mum, Lucy is in danger of losing the parenting plot. And worst of all, she's alarmingly distracted by Sexy Domesticated Dad. It's only a matter of time before the dirty laundry quite literally blows up in her face ... 'Hilarious ... a phenomenon to rival Bridget Jones's Diary and Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It ... Plays with the chaos and comedy of 30-something metropolitan maternity and brings it to an unexpectedly moving conclusion.' - Anna Wintour
