'Punchily provocative and often bitingly funny' THE TIMES, Book of the Month ‘Binge-worthy, real, really funny’ KILEY REID ‘Spiky, smart and so original’ CLAIRE DAVERLEY 'Entertaining and very timely… One of the most enjoyable novels I’ve read in a long time' GUARDIAN 'Unputdownable' DAILY MAIL A ONE WOMAN SHOW A ONE NIGHT STAND A ONE STAR REVIEW Theatre critic Alex Lyons made his name from his brutal, brilliant reviews. So when he sees Hayley Sinclair's dismal one-woman show at the Edinburgh Fringe, he thinks nothing of dashing off another of his trademark one-star pans for the newspaper. He also thinks nothing of taking her home after the performance, failing at any point to mention who he is. What he doesn't expect is for Hayley to revamp her show into a review of Alex's entire life, exposing what an awful person he really is. Worse, the show is a smash hit, and Alex is about to become national news. But can Hayley bring the establishment down without taking herself with it? Funny and thrilling, Bring the House Down gives you a front row seat to the downfall of the people who tell us what to think. It's about art, performance, female rage, and how while revenge may be sweet, it can also be perilous. 'An enticing debut. This is a binge-worthy novel that explores our obsessions, our inner critic, and who we think we are in person and in print. Intimate, real, and really funny. This one has teeth' KILEY REID 'Sharp, shrewd and witty… a stunning debut, one that I’m sure will be binge-read by many' INDEPENDENT, Book of the Month 'Dark, obsessive and razor-sharp, this is your next Baby Reindeer fix’ ELLE
