Five friends. One betrayal. A reunion that will change everything.

Naomi thought she had it all figured out: a gorgeous husband, adorable twins and a monthly cocktail catch-up with her three best friends. But when Zara, the fifth member of their once inseparable Girlfriends’ Club, resurfaces with a bombshell secret, Naomi's carefully balanced life is turned upside down.

As Zara’s revelations send shockwaves through the group, the once lively WhatsApp chat falls silent and Naomi finds herself sitting at home instead of sipping margaritas with the women who know her best. As old wounds are opened and loyalties are questioned, Naomi must confront the cracks in her marriage and the truth about her past. Can the Girlfriends’ Club weather the storm, or will Zara’s return tear them apart for good?

Funny, moving and ultimately uplifting, The Fall-Out will resonate with anyone who’s ever needed their girlfriends to navigate life’s messiest moments. Get ready to laugh, cry and raise a glass to the unbreakable bonds of friendship. A must-read for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane.
