The Snag List cover

Three thirty-somethings find themselves living in a luxury housing development where hope and potential goes to die - or that's what it feels like. But a new business idea has them wondering if they can make big changes and have the lives they've always wanted...

'I loved it!' Marian Keyes

'Laugh-out-loud funny, sharp as a tack and compulsively readable ... I loved it.' Louise O'Neill


'I loved The Snag List. It's a sharp, funny story of female friendship at its best, with characters you'll fall in love with.' Beth O'Leary

'Astutely observed, whip-smart and very, very funny.' Sarah Breen

'Laugh-out-loud hilarious ... White's pages fizz with earthy wit and [Marian] Keyes fans will definitely find plenty to enjoy here' Sunday Independent

For thirty-somethings Lindy, Ailbhe and Roe, the move to Monteray Valley - a hyper-polished new luxury housing development - feels like slow death by Netflix and tedious WhatsApp groups. And in the midst of lives overtaken by domestic obligations, what space is left for their own hopes and dreams?

Lindy's realising that her ambitions have been hijacked by her son's career. He's eleven.

Ailbhe 'has it all': a successful business, a husband, a baby ... and a colossal secret.

And Roe is trying for a baby - a risky business when you're not sure you want one.

Compiling a snag list for their builder prompts the new friends to consider what needs to be fixed in their own
lives. But is chasing unfulfilled dreams really the key to happiness - or likely to lead to more regrets?
