YOU WATCH HER. YOU WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HER. BUT DO YOU REALLY KNOW HER?
Rani's life is far from idyllic - with two small children and a partner in a tiny rented flat that has never felt like home, she has always wished for a different life.
Then, Natalie moves into the large house across the road - and Rani can't help but be drawn to her. To her life of luxury, to her perfect husband, her perfect house.
But not all is as it seems behind closed doors, and as Rani gets closer to Natalie, she discovers everyone has secrets - and some will stay with you for a lifetime . . .
A darkly compelling, emotive debut about two women who find themselves sucked into each other's worlds - with devastating consequences. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
How well can you really know your neighbours? If you’re Rani or Natalie, living in the leafy North London street that provides the backdrop for Her, the answer is not very. Not even when your behaviour tips over into stalker territory. Mira V Shah has expertly crafted two central characters from completely different worlds and circumstances, who both desperately want some of what the other has. Set among a world of well-heeled coffee shops and Italian delis, Her is a perfectly paced thriller that asks some timely questions of the options available to the modern woman. While many will relate to Rani’s struggles to get back onto the career ladder after children, Natalie’s aversion to motherhood is also understandable in 2023. From the moment she and her new husband move into the palatial Highgate home across the road from Rani’s tiny flat, it becomes clear that Natalie and her new home already have history. But who will unearth that history first?
