Natalie’s in tears in her bedroom. She’s had a huge argument with her husband. Slowly, she realises she’s already holding a knife.

She’s telling herself she doesn’t want to do it. Not again.

Because Natalie has an awful secret. Sometimes, on her worst nights, she blacks out. She loses control.

What do you do when there’s a killer in your house, and you think it might be you?
Beautifully written, and full of unexpected twists and turns, The Exes is a cathartic book for anyone with a terrible ex, with profound things to say about family and hte lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love
