Story
El O'Reilly is exceptionally good at making mistakes. Mistakes like falling in love with the charismatic youth pastor, Mace, while engaged to her high school boyfriend, and breaking up with her fiancé the night before Valentine's Day. But when Mace proposes to someone else, El's world finally breaks. Will she go back to the safe love she's always known, will Mace realise that she's the one, or will El forge her own path into the unknown? Mistakes and Other Lovers explores the pressure, pain and freedom of being on the cusp of adulthood and realising things aren't what you thought they'd be.

Publisher's Summary
A compelling courtroom drama, Dice is an incredibly timely exploration of how sexual violence is viewed in our society.
Four teenage boys invent a sex game based on rolling dice and doing what the numbers say.
They are charged with multiple sexual offences against three teenage girls.
Twelve random jurors are brought together in a trial to work out what actually happened.
Only they can say whether crimes have been committed and who should be punished.
How does the jury find?
Dice is a stunning courtroom drama told from the perspective of a diverse group of ordinary people—the jury. How will twelve women and men, aged from eighteen to seventy-two with hugely disparate backgrounds, beliefs and experience, decide whether consent was given or crimes were committed?
How can they possibly arrive at a unanimous verdict? How will justice be properly served?
In this dazzlingly accomplished and gripping debut novel, chapters are told through the point of view of each juror as the trial unfolds. The listener too becomes a jury member as the evidence is presented and information is withheld, fragmented and re-told by different witnesses. Each person must decide where the truth lies.
Will the verdict deliver justice, or just reflect the prejudices and differences in the jury?
Critic Reviews
'Dice has a forensic depth that is compelling, that challenges and deeply moves the reader. But what sets this novel apart is the precision and power of the writing. This is fiction that doesn't want to be journalism, it affirms the truth and nuance and possibility of imagination.' Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap
'Dice achieves what the best fiction achieves: it draws us into the story on a deeply personal level, coaxing us to consider what we would do in the same situation...the moving and powerful final moment delivers a sense of narrative completion while also reminding us of the flawed nature of the justice system.' Catherine Chidgey, award-winning author of Remote Sympathy
'An utterly compelling, nuanced and appropriately complex read that effortlessly depicts the unique combination of the sensational and the mundane, which often characterises the criminal trial.' Professor Vanessa Munro, Warwick University

Compelling and thought provoking
Such a reality check. Really highlights the issues of jury trials and how hard it is to come to a consensus. Really brings home how hard it is on the victim in a sexual assault trial.

Harrowing, compelling and IMPORTANT!
A stark and vivid glimpse into the inner workings of a jury on a sexual assault case. Characters are rounded with distinct voices even with the narrative having to cover so many. Baylis presents complex ethical and social questions simply and without preaching. The performance is impressive and it's really refreshing to hear a kiwi accent.
