Book Details

In Greengully, the perfect suburb with perfect parents, nothing is quite as it seems. Chrissy, the teacher who always has the answers, can’t understand why her clueless male colleague just scored the job she deserved. Jenny, the perennial class mum, is desperate to hide her son’s escalating behaviour from the other parents. Estelle insists her daughter Harmony is a delight-despite mounting evidence to the contrary. And Viv, the quiet one, carries a secret so dark it could destroy everything she loves. As friendships strain and facades crack, the Greengully school year exposes the lies we tell ourselves and the masks we wear for others. Sharp-eyed and utterly relatable, it asks: What would happen if we all stopped pretending everything was fine?
