Reviews

Revenge is a dish served with lashings of relish in this vivid, blackly comic suspense novel, as three women fight back against an abusive partner. I cheered them on to the bloody end. * Louise Candlish, author of OUR HOUSE *
A revenge thriller to make you punch the air in solidarity, Sticks and Stones is a wickedly sharp, psychologically intense debut which announces Jo Jakeman as a future queen of grip lit. * Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends *
Witty and satirical while illuminating a dilemma often faced by women when their marriages break up -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
It's not often you get a thriller that is just as good at keeping you on the edge of your seat as it is at making you laugh - but Sticks and Stones is both. A deliciously dark and gripping debut. * Emily Koch, author of IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE *
Reads like a darker Big Little Lies with all the female rage of Sharp Objects. * Bustle.com *
