THE QUEEN OF FIVES is up on @NetGalley - and I am loving these kind words… “Imagine Bridgerton crossed with Hustle (only 10 times better!) and you have an idea of the delights ahead in The Queen of Fives by Alex Hay.” Thank you so much, brilliant NetGalley readers! 🥰
THE QUEEN OF FIVES by @AlexHayBooks is now up on @NetGalley! Want a chance to read it before anyone else? To celebrate the cover reveal, we're granting 5 daily wishes over the next 5 days! brnw.ch/21wNnHv #TheQueenOfFives

This has kept me company on the train this week — loved it! Tense, clever, filled with wry observations and claw-sharp plotting — & gorgeous writing. Sevenoaks has never felt so seductively dangerous! Can’t wait to see where Kit Conway @nicolekkennedy goes next… 🔥😻 #catfight
