'Fast moving and frothing with the fun kind of female fury' JO BRANDWHEN THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU, IT'S TIME TO GET EVEN.

Matilda, Jo, Penny and Cressy are all women at the top of their game; so imagine their surprise when they start to be personally overlooked and professionally pushed aside by less-qualified men.

Only they’re not going down without a fight.

Society might think the women have passed their amuse-by dates but the Revenge Club have other plans.

After all, why go to bed angry when you could stay up and plot diabolical retribution? Let the games begin...

PRAISE FOR KATHY LETTE:

‘Deliciously rude and darkly funny’ Nicole Kidman

‘Unputdownable’ Stephen Fry

‘The thinking lady’s hornbag’ Kath and Kim

MEDIA REVIEWS

Fast moving and frothing with the fun kind of female fury - Jo Brand

Like champagne with a pie chaser. Sparkling and surprisingly satisfying - Penny Smith

As always, she's witty and gritty and surprises at every turn. "Nine to Five" meets the "First Wives Club" in this gripping story of revenge - Ruby Wax

Kathy Lette's razzle-dazzle charm, humour and versatility sometimes obscure the seriously impressive achievement of this girl from the Shire: For fifty years now, she has articulated - with outrageous candour and an infallibly observant eye - the best and worst bits of being female. The Revenge Club is erotic fan fiction for the peri-menopausal. But amid all the hilarity and blood-Letteing (see what I did there?) there beats a solid reminder that female friendships are the love affairs that never dim. - Annabel Crabb

Sometimes dark, often rude and always sparkling. A total tonic - Adele Parks, Platinum

Written in Lette’s trademark blend of pace, pun and pizzazz - Sydney Morning Herald

Sink into a whoopie cushion as the queen of quip lit whisks you along - Saga

A no-holds-barred account of just how unfairly the chips are stacked against older women - The Times

A poolside read that will have you chuckling into your cocktails... full of wit and slapstick moments, the story also has a moving twist that reinforces the serious subtext - sometimes women just have to come together and give the patriarchy a kick in the proverbial. Bravo! - Woman & Home

Kathy Lette diehards will recognise her trademark acerbic humour and fabulously poisonout put downs, of which there are plenty - Heat

a wicked sense of fun at work...the prose is blaring - The Times

escapist fun...Kathy Lette diehards will recognise her trademark acerbic humour and fabulously poisonous put downs, of which there are plenty - Heat

A poolside read that will have you chuckling into your cocktails...Full of wit and slapstick moments...Bravo! - Woman & Home

Sometimes dark, often rude and always sparkling. A total tonic - Platinum

Sink into a whoopie cushion as the queen of quip lit whisks you along in search of the shortest distance between two puns - Saga

high feminism, high camp, and high theatrics. There are hints of Sex And The City, there are hints of First Wives Club, but Lette runs with her outlandish plotline, providing laughs, gasps and, of course, plenty of revenge. - My Weekly

If you Iove Jane FaIIon and Dawn O’Porter, you’ll! love this wickedly witty revenge romp, too! - Pick Me Up! (Book of the Month)

A slicing, piercing, irreverently funny story of revenge - Love Reading

Packed full of wit, with plenty of joyous slapstick moments - Woman's Weekly

a call for a #MeToo movement for older women and an appreciation of the value of female friendship - Working Wise

Packed full of wit, with plenty of joyous slapstick moments - Woman

The resulting romp is not so much chick-lit, more like no-longer-spring-chickens-lit-if the theme song from Nine to Five has just popped into your head, you can sing it, sister. - Irish Times

“Not for me”

I was really looking forward to listening to something a bit different - more light-hearted than what I usually listen to or read but, unfortunately, this just wasn't for me.

I listened on and off for about a... More

“Lighthearted”

I read this book courtesy of NetGalley. An totally fun read where four women come together to bring down some utter idiot men from their lives. Fun and with more than a passing nod to the 'Me-Too' movement.... More

“Hilarious!”

This tale of revenge is hilarious but after a while the constant one liners became too much. I would have liked more depth in the characters. I think it would make a great short story. Not for me, but other readers... More
