te's novels come with beautifully written advance trigger warnings. An advance warning the story will always get under your skin and her newest story is no different (TW: fertility issues and eating disorders btw.)

This story of 3 couples made up of 6 close college friends is really impactful in ways it may not seem from the outset. While the friends share absolutely everything with each other on whatsapp chats, privately they are not being honest with each other or even themselves.

As with her last novel, White, covers important physical health topics whilst also holding a mirror up to the insidious impact modern life has on our mental health and happiness.

As to be expected the dark and emotional themes are dealt with sensitively and there's plenty of humour and wit in these pages. Real life in a nutshell.
A razor sharp observation of the state of the modern world and a reminder that we never really know what is going on behind closed doors.

Such A Good Couple- Sophie White

Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Hopeful. This book was utterly gorgeous. I was so sad to reach the final pages.
Trigger warnings 100 percent needed here in relation to eating disorders and infertility.
Both topics are huge themes in the book so it would be a very difficult read for anyone experiencing or having experienced either.
That said, the book is not heavy or overtly sad. While of course there are difficult chapters and heartbreaking episodes within the pages, there's a hopeful tone and plenty of that irrepressible Irish humour.

The book opens with 3 couples living different lives but connected by decades of friendship and experiences. Each couple faces their own challenges and you get a great insight immediately in the opening chapters into the lives of each couple and the current status of their relationship. I think the 3 marriages and the issues they grapple with, represent well the challenges that marriage and family life can bring.

The 3 couples embark on their now annual family holiday, paid for by Maggie and Fionn, their old friends turned millionaires, and it's on this trip that cracks in partnerships become apparent and deepen. Will any relationship still be intact on the flight home?

Sophie White has produced a masterpiece in these pages. It's tender and funny and a plot twist that I maybe could see coming but didn't want to. It was such a good read. Very emotional. Some really raw, heartbreaking passages. There were tears shed while reading this but a smile and a laugh were never far away. A beautiful depiction of enduring friendships and relationships.

Beyond grateful to @netgalley for this wonderful ARC. Thank you also to @hachetteireland for approving me to read and review this book and to @sophwhitewhoop for writing such a truly wonderful book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I say this is the top requested book on NetGalley right now and rightfully so. Sophie White is a force to be reckoned with. If you’ve read her previous books Corpsing, Snag List and My Hot Friend you’ll know she has an engaging colloquial relaxed writing style, but also that she isn’t afraid to talk about the tough subjects facing women today. This book comes with trigger warnings for infertility struggles and disordered eating, so please do be conscious and mindful of these.

On the holiday from hell, we meet three couples facing relationship struggles simultaneously. We see them concealing pee, revenge kissing, binging and purging and cracking under the pressure of being “such a good couple”.

This story is an emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows, happy tears and heartbreaking sobs. I gobbled it all up and didn’t want it to end!
