'Everyone should be screaming about it' MONICA HEISEY
WIFE. HUSBAND. BEST FRIEND. What if your two favourite people hated each other with a passion?
A nice house, a carefree life, a doting husband, a best friend who never leaves your side. You couldn't ask for more. There's just one problem: your husband and best friend love you, but they hate each other.

Reviews / Votes
Sharp, astute and wickedly funny... a taut, darkly comic read that packs a serious punch -- YOMI ADEGOKE, author of The List A funny, terrifically entertaining read * Daily Mail * A treat... Dazzling, dextrous and droll, this millennial noir is a taut exploration of culture and the politics of relationships -- BOLU BABALOLA, author of Love in Colour Switching points of view among the three, this debut is viciously funny, different than anything you've read lately, and at the same time, strangely relatable * Oprah Daily * A delicious comedy noir * i * Sharp, astute and wickedly funny - Ore Agbaje-Williams' sharp wit and perfectly realised protagonists make for a taut, darkly comic read that packs a serious punch -- Yomi Adegoke, author of THE LIST A treat of a debut. Agbaje-Williams has a gift of gliding between the sharpest driest humour and damning emotional revelations that incisively exposes the vulnerabilities, fallacies and messiness that line the relationships with those we are closest to. Dazzling, dextrous and droll, this millennial noir is a taut exploration of culture and the politics of relationships -- Bolu Babalola, author of LOVE IN COLOUR Deftly plotted and wickedly enjoyable... I tore through this, and you will, too. The triad of voices seems to flow spontaneously, but is intricately assembled to result in maximum drama -- Naoise Dolan, author of EXCITING TIMES Ore Agbaje-Williams has that elusive Sally Rooney style of writing: it seems simple and easy to do but is incredibly difficult to pull off... Enjoy * Stylist * Unique and completely captivating, The Three of Us absorbed me. When I finished I wanted to go back and read it from the beginning again -- Annie Lord, author of NOTES ON HEARTBREAKMore details
