Those Other Women

A Novel

By: Nicola Moriarty

Narrated by: Kirsty Gillmore

""A firecracker of a novel..."" -Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

The author of The Fifth Letter takes a laser look at the uneasy relationships between women and the real-world ramifications of online conflicts and social media hostilities in this stunning domestic drama. A story of privilege, unspoken rivalries, and small acts of vengeance with huge repercussions sure to please fans of Sarah Jio and Ruth Ware.

Overwhelmed at the office and reeling from betrayals involving the people she loves, Poppy feels as if her world has tipped sideways. Maybe her colleague, Annalise, is right—Poppy needs to let loose and blow off some steam. What better way to vent than social media?

With Annalise, she creates an invitation-only Facebook group that quickly takes off. Suddenly, Poppy feels like she’s back in control—until someone begins leaking the group’s private posts and stirring up a nasty backlash, shattering her confidence.

Feeling judged by disapproving female colleagues and her own disappointed children, Frankie, too, is careening towards the breaking point. She also knows something shocking about her boss—sensitive knowledge that is tearing her apart.

As things begin to slide disastrously, dangerously out of control, carefully concealed secrets and lies are exposed with devastating consequences—forcing these women to face painful truths about their lives and the things they do to survive.

great storytelling but the narrator was do annoyin

the way the story unfolded was great but the narrator had a weird pronounciation of can't and her Italian accent sounded new Zealand instead.

I see both sides

I think the author captured the essence of both mothers, and those without children. as an empty nester I have lived the life of an exhausted overworked mom, and now that my kids are out of the house I understand the value of a quiet meal without interruption from kids in the next booth. but the message was spot-on, kids or no kids, women should hold one another up. we all have our own story, our own struggles. The author did a nice job of capturing all of the above.

Absolutely fabulous

This is a book every woman should read! This is how it is between deferent women, the ones with or without kids, married or not, gay or straight. We are all women and we have to have each other’s backs

Sorry it is over!

So enjoyed this one! I really like her writing and the narrator was good as well!
