‘I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough’ – Abigail Dean, author of Girl A

People like Emmy Jackson. They always have. Especially online, where she is Instagram sensation Mamabare, famous for telling the unvarnished truth about modern parenthood.

But Emmy isn’t as honest as she’d like the fans to believe. She may think she has her followers fooled, but someone out there knows the truth and plans to make her pay . . .

'Brilliantly original' – Clare Mackintosh, author of After the End

'Deliciously dark and devious' – Red

'Highly recommended' – Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

'Slick and sharp' – The Times
