Getting Mad and Even
ABOUT THE SHOW
Georgie Tunny, Gabbie Stroud, Jess Ho & Naima Brown in conversation with Kimberley Allsopp
How far would you go to get what you want – and how do you separate what you desire from what you deserve? Class, privilege, ambition and rage bubble over in these deliciously gripping and incisive novels, in which underestimated characters boldly overstep the mark in search of love, success and revenge.
