Publisher's Summary

Underbelly

[n.] singular

The soft underside or abdomen of a mammal.

An area vulnerable to attack.

A dark, hidden part of society.

Lo and Dylan are living parallel lives, worlds apart. 

Lo is the ultimate middle-class mother, all perfectly polished Instagram posts and armchair activism. Dylan is just about surviving on a zero-hours telemarketing job from her flat, trying to keep food on the table. But when they meet at the school gates, they are catapulted into each other's homes and lives - with devastating consequences....

Explosive, sharply humorous and unflinchingly honest, Underbelly slices through the filtered surface of modern women's lives to expose the dark truth beneath.

Read by Nathalie Buscombe and Jasmine Blackborow, featuring the authors.

Critic Reviews

"Darkly voyeuristic but with heart - as funny as it is painful and true. We loved it." (Grazia)

"I don't think I've ever turned the pages of a book so quickly. So sharp, so tender...truly excellent storytelling." (Daisy Buchanan) 

"Entertaining and playful but with huge depth, meaning and heart. I raced through it." (Emma Gannon)

Don’t waste your time

I’ve waded through 11 chapters of this dribble waiting and hoping for something to happen.
Looking for a ‘light’ read, I guess I can’t complain. Light it was. Light on story, quality of writing, and performance.
I’m not wasting anymore of my time, and this review is to help prevent you from wasting your money on buying this book.
