Don't Make Me Laugh

Don't Make Me Laugh deftly balances anger and humor in a story of power, control, and manipulation. It explores gender roles in work and life, the competition imposed on women, and, ultimately, the triumph of fighting back.

'A great book, an important book that will start a discussion that needs to be had...my heart was in my mouth' Marian Keyes

One of the most explosive debut fiction titles of 2025

'Exhilarating, viscerally thrilling and SO timely - an ambitious dark comedy that really delivers. Hugely smart, with so much emotional depth and resonance' Daisy Buchanan

'More relevant with every day that passes, Don't Make Me Laugh is written with a comedy insider's knowledge and a woman's rage. Sharp, dark and outrageously funny, it's the #MeToo book we've all been waiting for' Marianne Levy

'This is an honest, funny, devastating and timely book' Jenny Colgan

Don't Make Me Laugh balances anger and humour with the deftest of touches. It is a story about power and control and manipulation, about gendered roles in both the workplace and our personal lives, and about how women are set up in competition with each other. And ultimately - satisfyingly - it's a story about fighting back.
