Reviews
-
Devilishly clever and beautifully written
Alice Clark-Platts, author of The Cove and The Flower Girls
-
Little Nothings delivers some searing and uncomfortable truths about motherhood and female friendship. Beautifully drawn characters, thrown together in the pressure cooker nightmare that is a group holiday. Entirely and chillingly relatable
Sarah J. Naughton
-
Mayhew is brilliant on women and the complex ways in which their relationships can turn destructive. A true single-sitting read
Alex Marwood
-
A well-written, absorbing story that cleverly illustrates the psychological impact of nurturing a true enemy in your midst
Rachel Abbott
-
Mayhew explores both the affirming side of female friendships and the darker currents of judgmental talk, financial peer pressure, and neediness. The most interesting part of the book is Liv, who's the narrator, for she is often not a terribly sympathetic character. Yet there is something admirable in how she fights to recognize and celebrate her true, autonomous self, even if that person is inherently selfish and grudging
Kirkus Reviews
-
Anchored by a deliciously layered and desperately unreliable narrator, Little Nothings enriches the familiar setup of an intruder shaking up a happy idyll with a compelling, creative structure and distinctive voice
