Sunstruck

A stunning and tender debut. Sultry and compulsive. Full of heart

Soula Emmanuel

Gorgeous and heartbreaking. I loved it

Jessica Stanley, author of Consider Yourself Kissed

Poignant, tender, and wonderfully honest

Chloe Michelle Howarth

Hunter's debut skilfully follows the journey of an aspiring Black musician drawn into a world of privilege and excess. Beautifully written and well-paced . . . builds tension as it approaches an exciting revelation

Jacqueline Crooks

Sunstruck is a book that is very hard to put down, full of lovable and equally hatable characters whose lives - much like the protagonists - are both displayed and withheld from the reader, perfectly mimicking the realities of how we relate to those around us, even those we believe are closest to us. A truly gripping story about power, privilege and perspective from a writer with a sharp pen and a wicked sense of humour whose incredible career is only just beginning

Ore Agbaje-Williams

A smart, bracing, sexy novel about privilege and desire, full of indelible images and beautiful writing. Rayfet Hunter evokes the dream-like allure of power and the nightmare it soon becomes. I was completely gripped

Jack Parlett, author of Fire Island

A masterful debut, full of elegance, suspense, and wit. Sunstruck is a razor-sharp dissection of race, class and love

Owen Jones

Sticky, twisting and dangerous: Sunstruck compels, unravelling the fraught strings that keep the elite class together and asking if an outsider can ever truly belong in their fold

Rebecca K Reilly

There’s plenty of plot; the novel’s brisk pacing, together with its shrewd blend of emotional sincerity, brooding intrigue and political overtones, make for a lively beach read

Guardian

This summer's hottest read

Sunday Times Style

Rich and complex

DAZED

The book of the summer . . . a pacy page-turner and a timely piece of social commentary

AnOther Magazine

Sticky and pacy with an undercurrent of unease, you won't want to put it down

British Vogue

A heartbreaking but necessary portrayal of identity and belonging in modern day Britain. It's the perfect beach read

Tatler

A deft and compelling portrait of race, class, wealth, privilege and power

Mr Porter

[A] dark, intoxicating debut . . . A thoughtful meditation on class, race and queerness

Mail on Sunday

Richly evoked and quietly furious, building from its Saltburn-like beginnings into a roar about the state of modern Britain that never loses sight of the questions around family, friendship and belonging at its emotional core
