Ralph's Party cover

The smash-hit romantic comedy from the author of The Girls and Then She Was Gone

Six people, one big house and the party that brings it all down . . .


Ralph and Smith are flatmates and best mates. Nothing can come between them - until the gorgeous Jemima moves in. They're both falling for her, but which one of them does she want?

Upstairs, Karl and Siobhan are happily unmarried and have been for fifteen years - until Cheri moves into the flat above, and fixes her sights on Karl. Why should a little problem like his girlfriend get in her way?

Sooner or later this house is bound to implode.

So when Ralph throws a party and invites the whole house, what could possibly go wrong?

If you like Marian Keyes, Jane Fallon, and Sophie Kinsella, you'll love this.
