Reviews

Deftly plotted and wickedly enjoyable. -- Naoise Dolan, author of EXCITING TIMES
Unique and completely captivating, The Three of Us absorbed me. When I finished I wanted to go back and read it from the beginning again. -- Annie Lord, author of NOTES ON HEARTBREAK
A treat of a debut. Agbaje-Williams has a gift of gliding between the sharpest driest humour and damning emotional revelations that incisively exposes the vulnerabilities, fallacies and messiness that line the relationships with those we are closest to. Dazzling, dextrous and droll, this millennial noir is a taut exploration of culture and the politics of relationships. -- Bolu Babalola, author of LOVE IN COLOUR
Ore Agbaje-Williams has that elusive Sally Rooney style of writing: it seems simple and easy to do but is incredibly difficult to pull off. And so a tale of one woman, her best friend and her husband unfolds. The only problem Said best friend and husband hate each other. Enjoy. * Stylist *
An astute, composed and quietly hilarious observation of identity, marriage and friendship from a unique storyteller. -- Diana Evans, author of Ordinary People
