COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘The Angry Wives Club’ by Gabbie Stroud

This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Angry Wives Club by Gabbie Stroud. A darkly satisfying read, The Angry Wives Club blends domestic noir with humor, exploring what happens when women stop keeping the peace and start keeping score. Three women in idyllic Shellwater Bay bond over their failed marriages and simmering rage, deciding that sometimes a little crime is the only answer to years of silent bargains. Here’s the blurb:

Domestic noir with a chick-lit twist: a story of laughter, sisterhood, and women daring to do things differently. Perfect for fans of Jane Caro's The Mother and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies.

Welcome to Shellwater Bay, where the sea is calm, the scenery idyllic… and three women are quietly planning a revolution.

Joany appears to have the perfect life, but behind closed doors, she's hiding a dangerous secret. Heather thinks her marriage is rock-solid until her husband demands a divorce. Steph is raising kids with a man who thinks ‘helping out' means calling his mother.

Bonded at their gym by sweat and fury, the women swap stories about the silent bargains they've made to keep the peace in their relationships.

But peace has its price. And when the simmering rage starts to bubble over, these new friends decide a crime or two is in order…
