Readers love Young Women:

Hands down, this is an absolutely phenomenal book! I recommend Young Women to everyone out there, one you'll be hearing about for a long time to come.

Young Women instantly grabbed me from the first chapter. I devoured this novel.

Incredibly powerful . . . essential reading for all.

Sharp, beautifully written and powerful.

An intoxicating friendship.
An unforgivable betrayal.

From the Observer debut novelist of the year, an addictive new novel where a fierce new female friendship will unearth a secret that could change everything . . .

When Emily meets enigmatic and dazzling actress Tamsin, her life changes. Drawn into Tamsin's world of Soho living, boozy dinners, and cocktails at impossibly expensive bars, Emily's life shifts from black and white to technicolour and the two women become inseparable.

But after a bombshell news article breaks, Emily begins to realise that Tamsin has been hiding a secret about her past. A secret that threatens to unravel everything . . .
