About this ebook
Discover the debut novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell in which the residents of an apartment building confront one another’s attractions, distrust, secrets, and lies. Perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton and Jojo Moyes.
Welcome to 31 Almanac Road where the walls don’t talk, but the people sure do.
First, we have Ralph and Smith. Roommates and life-long best friends. Nothing can come between them…That is, until Jemima moves in, and the two find themselves in a battle for her affections. Neither Ralph nor Smith can boast successful love lives, but maybe their luck is about to change.
The real question, though, is who does Jemima want?
Take the stairs up a flight, and you’ll find Karl and Siobhan. On the outside, they’re the perfect couple. Look a little closer, though, and you might just spot some cracks in their fifteen-year relationship. And those cracks are suspiciously shaped like their upstairs neighbor, the beautiful and smooth-talking Cheri.
In a building packed with this many secrets, everything is bound to unravel eventually. So, really, what better place for tears and laughter, break ups and make ups than at Ralph’s party?

Another utterly amazing page turner. I've read it in 2 days. I loved the 1990s references of music and hair and loved the twists and turns Lisa takes us on. It's utterly gripping.
