A light, easy read about four university friends whose lives are full of family, work, love and all going through transitions in their life. Stacey has lost her job as a high-flying city businesswoman and her elderly mother needs care. Beth and her partner are renovating a house and achieving academic success. Gaby spends her days ruthlessly running an empire and her nights controlling a household with a husband and three children. Whilst successful and single, Melissa's past love catches up with her and her teenage son. The characters are endearing in their honest approach to mid-life changes. Their lives will resonate with anyone who has endured, or even encountered, the juggling act of being a modern woman.

"If Becky wasn't a gay teenage boy with good grammar and a foul mouth in several past lives, then she's absolutely one of the most observant writers in the YA game. New Review (June 2017): Just finished my third or fourth reread of SIMON VS., this time on audio which is narrated by the amazing Michael Crouch, and wow, I love this book more each time. I'm 27 right now and SIMON remains the book I wish I had 10 years ago."
