WIN copies of Ralph's Party plus a free party pack for your reading group!

To celebrate the 25th anniversary reissue of Lisa Jewell’s first book, Ralph’s Party, we are offering reading groups and book clubs copies of the book along with their very own ’Ralph’s Party Pack’ so you can enjoy chatting about the book in style!

About the book:

THE SMASH-HIT STORY OF LOVE, FRIENDS AND FLATSHARES TURNS 25

Meet the residents of 31 Alamanac Road . . .

Ralph and Smith are flatmates and best mates. Nothing can come between them – until the gorgeous Jemima moves in. They’re both falling for her, but which one of them does Jem want?

Upstairs, Karl and Siobhan are happily unmarried and have been for fifteen years – until Cheri, in the flat above, fixes her sights on Karl. Why should a little problem like his girlfriend get in her way?

Sooner or later it’s all going to come to a head – and what better place for tears and laughter, break ups and make ups than Ralph’s party?

To be in with a chance of winning copies for your reading group, please email Ellie Morley [email protected] with the subject line ‘RA Ralph’s Party Packs’ by 19th May.
