We are incredibly excited to welcome author Holly Bourne to discuss her sensational new novel, So Thrilled For You.
Set to be one of the biggest releases of 2025, So Thrilled For You is a razor-sharp, conversation-starting gut-punch of a novel about female friendship and motherhood, and has already received rave reviews from the likes of Marian Keyes and Jacqueline Wilson. We can’t wait to host Holly and we hope you’ll join us for this very special event!
Holly Bourne is the bestselling and critically acclaimed author of a number of YA and adult novels including the Spinster Club series and How Do You Like Me Now? Inspired by her work with young people, and her own experiences of everyday sexism, Holly is a passionate mental health advocate and proud feminist.
Holly will be in conversation with Daisy Buchanan, an award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster. Her books include the novels Careering, Limelight, and the most recent Pity Party, and Read Yourself Happy due for release in February. She hosts the chart-topping podcast You’re Booked.
About the book:
A terrible heatwave. A very tense baby shower. It will all end in tears…
Nicki, Lauren, Charlotte and Steffi have been friends since university. Now in their thirties, life is pulling them in different directions – but when Charlotte organises the baby shower of hell for pregnant Nicki, the girls are reunited.
Under a sweltering hot summer day, tensions rise – and by the end of the evening, nothing will ever be the same. Someone started a fire at the house – and everyone’s a suspect… Is it Steffi, happily child-free but feeling judged by her friends? Is it Charlotte, desperate to conceive and jealous of those who have? Is it Lauren, who is finding motherhood far, far worse than she imagined? Or is it Nicki herself, who never wanted a baby shower anyway?
In the aftermath, the police put together the facts – but the truth will shock everyone. Even you.
‘Brilliant: so funny, so sad, so scary’ – Jacqueline Wilson
‘It will resonate for all women, and it’s so much fun’ – Marian Keyes
‘Part whodunnit, part dark take-down of motherhood’ – Gillian McAllister
