Welcome to the neighbourhood. We do things differently here.
Recently, Nora has started to feel that 'having it all' - a family, a soon-to-be new house, a successful career in law - comes with a price, one her husband doesn't seem to be paying quite so heavily. She loves Hayden, but why is it that, however hard men work, their wives always seem to work that much harder?
Then her house-hunting takes them to an affluent suburban neighbourhood and Nora's eyes are opened to a new world. One where women can have it all. One where the men actually pull their weight.
But a wrongful death case involving one of the local residents draws Nora further into this perfect world and she begins to realise that the secret of 'having it all' is far more complicated than she could ever have imagined. In fact, it may be worth killing for...
Smart, sharp and timely, The Husbands imagines a world where the burden of the 'second shift' is equally shared - and what it might take to get there. If you love the novels of Liane Moriarty, Celeste Ng and Sally Hepworth you will devour The Husbands.

They know she’s thrilled to cook, wrap gifts, decorate, accommodate, play games, overprepare every Christmas Eve Eve Eve tradition, and still let Dad be known as the Fun One. It’s her thing, right? Maybe the family should have paid closer attention. Because this year, something is a little off-key—and it’s not just the carols.

Sloane, Ardie, Grace und Rosalita leiden seit Jahren unter ihrem Vorgesetzten Ames. Zu seinem Verhalten Frauen gegenüber gab es schon immer Gerüchte. Gerüchte, die die Firmenleitung stets ignorierte oder unter den Teppich kehrte. Aber jetzt soll Ames zum Geschäftsführer befördert werden. Allerdings haben die Zeiten sich geändert, und genug ist genug. Die vier Frauen wissen: Sie müssen Ames‘ Aufstieg unbedingt verhindern. Und wenn ihre Worte wie üblich nicht gehört werden, dann müssen sie eben handeln ...
Ein Coming-of-Age-Roman für Mädchen und junge Frauen, der aus dem Rahmen fällt.
In 23 Tagen wird Lake 18. Dann hat sie die Chance, genau einen Menschen von den Toten auferstehen zu lassen. Ihr behinderter Bruder wäre nach der Auferstehung wieder gesund und sollte Lakes erste Wahl sein. Doch gerade sind ihre beste Freundin und ihr Freund bei einem Unfall ums Leben gekommen. Für wen soll sie sich entscheiden? Ist es überhaupt richtig, Gott zu spielen und über Leben und Tod zu bestimmen? Lake steckt in einem Dilemma, aus dem es scheinbar kein Entkommen gibt ...
Cassidy Hyde is NOT having a good year. Her boyfriend cheated on her, killed her best friend's date during homecoming, and was then murdered in turn by a serial killer, and that's without counting the thing that no one knows about. (But Cassidy doesn't like to think about that.) The point is, anyone would be a little depressed and no one can blame her for looking for a little bit of help. That's where Sunshine comes in. This new experimental drug makes Cassidy feel like everything is good and she's the golden girl once again. A little memory loss feels like a small price to pay to get her life back. And the fact that boys are once again going missing (boys who Cassidy does NOT want to remember) has NOTHING to do with anything! Right?
