Underbelly

UNDERBELLY [n.] singular The soft underside or abdomen of a mammal. An area vulnerable to attack. A hidden, unpleasant 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. Coming August 2021! Praise for Anna Whitehouse: 'The honesty, wit and wisdom in this book makes it a joy to read. It's painful and funny - and painfully funny' Emma Freud 'As a divorced single mother, 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. A book that goes deep into the nitty gritty' Emma Gannon 'Snort-tea-through-nose funny' Cherry Healey 'This book left me laughing so very hard and equally blubbing with tears' Jools Oliver
