Hooked
What began as a tipsy round of 'What's your New Year resolution?' between three friends led to life-changing events for them all.
Eve, a barista and avid crocheter, pledged to put her energies into her hobby, so that it brought her a regular income.
Simone vowed to dump Jack, the lothario lawyer who had her further down on his list of priorities than she wanted to be.
And Jemma promised to pick up her studies, and the career path she'd always hoped for but shelved to work in a nightclub.
As they followed their plans, they couldn't help but change as people. Would they realise their resolutions and still be friends at the end of it all?
From the author of 'Unravelled' and 'From Rags to Richie', Briony Marshall's latest book, set in the same world as her debut novel, gives a thought-provoking insight into 'online influencers' whilst delivering a warm, funny and endearing example of girl power.

I know Briony would want my review to be honest, so here it is. This book combines two things I really love — reading and crochet — which made it such a fun concept for me from the start.
I really enjoyed following the story and getting a glimpse into what an influencer’s life could actually look like behind the scenes. It was interesting to see how different that reality can be compared to what we normally see online. The contrast between the curated online persona and the real-life pressures was something that really stood out to me.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and thought the concept was great. As someone who loves crochet, it was really nice seeing it woven into the story, and it made the book feel even more relatable and unique.
