'Darkly voyeuristic but with heart - as funny as it is painful and true. We loved it' GRAZIA 'I don't think I've ever turned the pages of a book so quickly. So sharp, so tender... truly excellent storytelling' DAISY BUCHANAN 'Entertaining and playful but with huge depth, meaning and heart. I raced through it' EMMA GANNON 'Thrilling, exhilarating, devastating. A must-read' LAURA JANE WILLIAMS 'Engrossing, fantastically written and painfully real. I laughed, sobbed and got the chills' JESSICA RYN UNDERBELLY [n.] singular The soft underside or abdomen of a mammal. An area vulnerable to attack. A dark, hidden part of society. Lo and Dylan are living parallel lives, worlds apart. Lo is the ultimate middle-class mother, all perfectly polished Instagram posts and armchair activism. Dylan is just about surviving on a zero-hours telemarketing job from her flat, trying to keep food on the table. But when they meet at the school gates, they are catapulted into each other's homes and lives - with devastating consequences . . . Explosive, sharply humorous and unflinchingly honest, Underbelly slices through the filtered surface of modern women's lives to expose the dark truth beneath. **** Praise for Anna Whitehouse: 'Painful and funny - and painfully funny' Emma Freud 'Thank God there is none of that smug, married-couple twattery in this book. I loved it' Jane Garvey 'Fantastically unsmug' Woman's Hour 'This book is a hoot - hilarious and heartfelt' Emma Gannon 'Snort-tea-through-nose funny' Cherry Healey 'This book left me laughing so very hard and equally blubbing with tears' Jools Oliver
