About

Join debut Northern Beaches author Maxine Fawcett in conversation with Ali Lowe discussing her contemporary fiction Everything is Perfect.

Cassie has it all, a good-looking, successful husband, two bright children, a house in a beachside suburb with a pool, an -oodle dog. Everything is perfect, until it isn’t.

A captivating, honest and wry novel about a forty-something woman on the brink. Is it Peri? A midlife crisis? Or simply a cry for help?

‘An honest and hilarious story of the changes that come with middle age . . . I laughed, cried and cringed
with Cass. This is an absolutely cracking debut novel. I devoured it.’
 - Ali Lowe, author of The Running Club The Trivia Night.

Books will be available for purchase and signing on the night provided by Harry Hartog Warringah Mall.

$5.00 + booking fee

Non-alcoholic refreshments and nibbles on arrival.

Bookings required.
