Media Reviews
Revenge is a dish served with lashings of relish in this vivid, blackly comic suspense novel, as three women fight back against an abusive partner. I cheered them on to the bloody end. * Louise Candlish, author of OUR HOUSE *
A revenge thriller to make you punch the air in solidarity, Sticks and Stones is a wickedly sharp, psychologically intense debut which announces Jo Jakeman as a future queen of grip lit. * Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends *
It's not often you get a thriller that is just as good at keeping you on the edge of your seat as it is at making you laugh - but Sticks and Stones is both. A deliciously dark and gripping debut. * Emily Koch, author of IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE *
I loved Sticks and Stones. A gripping story, sensitively told but also really funny: no mean feat given the subject matter! * Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request *
Sticks and Stones is a gem of a debut with a unique premise, tightly-crafted plot and believable characters who get under your skin from the start. Incredibly well-observed and sensitive in its handling of difficult subjects, it is, above all, thoroughly entertaining. Highly recommended! * Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies *
