The Shampoo Effect

A gorgeous story

Woman and Home

I binged The Shampoo Effect and am now bereft and also jealous. Jenny Jackson has written a book that's so breezily readable and laugh-out-loud funny while excavating the deepest truths about motherhood, family, and forgiveness. What an unforgettable cast of characters. What an accomplishment.

Catherine Newman, author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS

An absolute DELIGHT. This book has everything I love in a beach read: a coastal setting, multiple points of view, compelling storylines, and a delicious specificity to the writing that makes every single sentence feel fresh and alive. Jenny Jackson’s The Shampoo Effect is a must, must, must for your summer reading list.

Funny, sharp, and charming

Rebecca Serle, New York Times bestselling author of ONE ITALIAN SUMMER

The Shampoo Effect is a delicious, unputdownable portrait of a group of friends navigating love, marriage, and young parenthood. Jackson's characters are fully drawn, complex and flawed, each traveling a true arc of growth, arriving in the final pages at a deeper understanding of the ties that bind them to one another. I loved it

Good Housekeeping

One of the smartest, funniest, and most astute novels I've ever read . . . presented by Jenny Jackson with a combination of great humour and profound wistfulness. I loved this novel. You will, too.

Chris Bohjalian, author of THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT and THE AMATEUR

Warm, witty, sharp and clever – it's the perfect smart summer book. Absolutely delicious!

Daisy Buchanan, author of CAREERING

Smart, funny, and perceptive, Jenny Jackson captures the messiness of modern relationships with rare precision. THE SHAMPOO EFFECT is an addictive, beautifully observed read.
