HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING STRONGER
by Imogen Edwards-Jones (Welbeck £8.99, 400pp)
If you liked I Don't Know How She Does It, you'll adore this roller-coaster riot of contemporary city motherhood.
Encouraged by her friends, hampered by her family, our frank and feisty heroine tackles not one mid-life crisis but many.
Husbands (useless), children (rude), wealthy London (entitled) and the career choices of the middle-aged woman (limited) are just a few of the comic targets. Fabulous.

by Lauren Mackenzie (Michael Joseph £16.99, 304pp)
Three glamorous young Dublin couples, best friends, are about to be blown apart by an affair. It starts with a silly game at a birthday party and ends in devastation and betrayal.

The group's most destructive member is the one to blame. Charismatic Frank's selfishness destroys everything he touches. A story about modern relationships, it's also a study of recklessness. Sharp, sexy, superb.

by Jenny Jackson (Hutchinson £14.99, 320pp)
Set in New York's wealthy Brooklyn Heights, this witty dissection of a dysfunctional family follows the fortunes of three women: sisters Darley and Georgiana, and sister-in-law Sasha, who's called a 'gold-digger'.
Then each, in a different way, has their glamorous existence derailed, forcing them to reflect on what they really want.
