Rebecca Reid

In this twisty, compelling thriller, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, and she's thrilled when her new husband insists they follow one rule: they don't talk about the past, but it's a rule that has dangerous consequences--perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient. Is her new husband hiding something? Caught up in a whirlwind romance that starts in sunny Ibiza and leads to the cool corridors of a luxurious English country estate, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone seriously question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and, okay, a little mysterious--but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private? Maybe he's not the only one... Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes, as others do, that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. What's the harm in letting them believe that? How far will they go to keep the past buried? Isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, Poppy starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of, to imagine what harm he might be capable of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter. But Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission...

The Truth Hurts

'Rebecca Reid is a master of building tension' Phoebe Morgan, author of The Girl Next Door What is more dangerous, a secret or a lie? Poppy is about to find out. ___________________ When Poppy meets Drew, she's at rock bottom: broke, jobless and with nowhere to live. So when he proposes after a whirlwind romance, she says yes - even though he has suggested they don't tell each other anything about their lives before they met. It's unconventional, but it suits Poppy's needs perfectly. Because Poppy has a secret - and she isn't so sure Drew would still want to marry her if he knew the truth. But, of course, this is a two-way deal - and Drew has secrets of his own. But surely they can't be worse than what Poppy's hiding . . . ___________________ 'Well written, with a plot and characters that haunt you long after you've finished.' Jane Corry, author of My Husband's Wife READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF TRUTH HURTS: ***** 'This book had me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down.' ***** 'I loved loved loved Rebecca Reid's previous novel Perfect Liars but Truth Hurts is even better!' ***** 'Rebecca Reid's writing is pure quality. She writes some of the worst human characteristics incredibly well. I'd pick up her next book without even reading the blurb.'

A captivating, breathless read

Truth Hurts

How far would you go to protect the life you've built? Sixteen years ago, best friends Nancy, Georgia and Lila committed a terrible crime. They have never spoken about it. But now, in their thirties, one of them wants to talk. One word and everything could be ruined: their lives, their careers, their relationships. It's up to Georgia to call a crisis dinner. But the evening does not go as planned. Three women walk in to the dinner, but only two will leave. Murder isn't so difficult the second time around...

Perfect Liars

"Of all the things in the world to worry about, why would anyone put the right for women to be rude at the top of the list? It's a fair question. Happily, there is a very simple answer: I believe that an inability to be rude is one of the biggest issues which still inhibits the equality of women today." The Power of Rude will discuss the way women are constantly worrying about being polite, even finding themselves in uncomfortable situations they'd rather avoid due to a fear of saying the wrong thing. For example, we'll learn about the woman who paid for an entire hen do that she wasn't even invited on (because she didn't want to be rude!), the woman who let her cousin practice kissing on her (because she didn't want to be rude!) and the vegan woman who ate an entire pork chop (because she didn't want to be rude!). This empowering call-to-arms will journey through dating, family relationships, sex, the workplace, money, customer service, and more and show women how we can reclaim the word 'rude' and use it to advantage. For decades, women have been called 'bossy', 'hysterical' and 'neurotic' in situations where men might simply be dubbed 'assertive'. We need to change the narrative around women and we need to use our voices to take control. Rebecca Reid isn't afraid to show us how.

A woman's guide to asserting herself

The Power of Rude

A timely, intelligent, and entertaining exploration of why ambitious women are often perceived as rude and how the power of rudeness can be harnessed in relationships, in bed, at work, and in everyday life—from journalist Rebecca Reid. During a TV interview with a comedian, Rebecca Reid found herself unable to get a word in edgewise. So, when she put her finger to her lips and shushed him, she became instantly known on the internet as “Rebecca Rude.” It was only then that she realized that being rude could actually be her superpower. A captivating blend of advice and pop culture, Rude will show you how to utilize the power of boldness in every area of your life. Exploring famous women who have been perceived as rude—including Princess Margaret, Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and others—this book demonstrates how those women used their “rudeness” to get what they want—and deserve—out of life. Reid also addresses whether there are different rules of rudeness for women compared to men (yes, there are) and how being taught not to be rude actually prevents women from being successful—especially because when women are assertive, they are often judged as being aggressive. And while there’s a place for politeness, Rebecca argues that it’s never a bad time to stand up for yourself to achieve your dreams.

The funny and relatable read about long-term love and happy endings

Seven Rules for a Perfect Marriage

To the world, Jessica and Jack have the perfect marriage, and a megahit book to show for it. But behind the scenes, they are falling apart. Can they use their own bestselling rules to save their marriage? They are so glamorous, so happy, so sickeningly in love that when they publish a book about the seven rules to building a marriage, it becomes a bestseller. But for Jessica and Jack, it’s not that simple. Jack doesn’t understand why Jessica chronicles their whole lives online, or why “the brand” seemingly dictates their every move. Jessica doesn’t understand why Jack isn’t happy with their success. Not to mention that this is her dream job, and it gives them a lifestyle most people can only dream of. The couple was once truly, deeply in love, but after ten years together, the rise to internet fame and a gruelling book tour have rubbed the shine off their happiness. They’re stuck, but neither of them wants their marriage to become collateral damage. The last item on their tour agenda is a workshop retreat with a collection of qualified practitioners, tailored perfectly to the book’s messages and geared toward healing the participants’ marriages. But this retreat will be different: instead of serving as celebrity window dressing, Jack and Jessica will be joining in and putting their seven rules into practice for themselves. They’re about to learn that the first and only rule to a perfect marriage is that there is no such thing as perfect. And in fact, there might be a lot more to life than rules . . .
