The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker

Harriet Stoker is such a wild ride. Twisty plot, murderous ghosts, found family, slow-burn romance - I was hooked from the very first chapter and could not put this book down. With characters I instantly loved (and some I hated), this book is by far my favourite Lauren James story. * Alice Oseman *Featured in The Bookseller’s September Previews. – Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *Featured in SFX’s ‘Out Now’ section. * SFX *Featured in the ‘30 best new books for young adults and older children to read during October half-term 2020’ in The i. * The i *I absolutely loved this book, I was engrossed in it.
