I read this. I loved this. I urge you to read it too because frankly READING is legit what helps right now and this is a belter. Happy pub day Anna Sharpe and your evil (ok, not evil) twin @annamazz.bsky.social !

What a week to have a book out about political corruption and powerful, abusive men! At least in my novel they get their comeuppance.

My first Anna Sharpe thriller. Out today in all formats in the UK, and in eBook and audio in the US.

It is a great read and very difficult to put down. Very much recommend it.

When you’ve started reading a book and it’s brilliant, and don’t want to put it down. @amandajennings.bsky.social I am hooked on #BeautifulPeople. Thanks so much for sending it! xx

Yes!! You go β€˜ah, but I can refute this with simple evidence-based opinion of rock solid fact’ then half an hour later you’re being called a brain dead libtard but an account called MAGAlicious warlord’

Rowing as in arguing, not rowing as in boating. Boating might be more fun though.

I also crept back on to Twitter/X when my book came out and I need to turn away from that cesspit. I’ve been rowing with weird American Trumpers and misogynists. This is not as fun as my apparent commitment to it would have me believe…

Anyway, pleased to meet you. My name’s Amanda and I’m a self-destructive over-thinker.

Also, I’ve spent the last two books not reading any Amazon/Goodreads reviews at all and I was happy. But I’ve forgotten all my own advice. Obviously. #StoopidWriterBrain

Despite all the good stuff, Amazon glitch has split the editions and taken a nice lot of 5 star reviews with audio and left the other editions without, which has brought average down. They are trying to fix it. Reason tells me not to worry but #WriterBrain thinks β€˜reason’ is for losers… πŸ˜–πŸ˜­πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Very pleased to see #BeautifulPeople selected as an Editor’s Pick in That’s Life magazine’s Crime Scene special. Thank you so much!

β€˜This brilliant tale of privilege, class and angst about being able to β€˜fit in’ is absolutely mesmerising.’ πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ˜Š

Met up with university friends for dinner tonight. We met 32yrs ago in our first week at university. There’s something very life affirming being with old friends. Discussing changes, transitions, life events, telling each other we haven’t changed a bit. Lovely

They are truly creatures of beauty. Worthy of a frame and a spot on the wall. Love them.

If anybody does want to gift a copy to someone for Christmas, if you order through The Bell Bookshop in Henley, I’ll be signing on Tuesday 10th December and can dedicate with any message. Phone them and they’ll do the rest. Xx

Beautiful People has been included in The Mail’s Best Books to give as Christmas presents. It’s been listed under Best Psychos which I’m not sure is wholly accurate, unless they’re talking about me of course…

Trouble is I don’t think anybody really enjoyed watching It’s Two Gs Wallace enough to leap to his defence or wave an apologist’s flag. The man won’t be on our screens again? *unbothered shrug*
