This is a novel about marriage and friendship, secrecy and infidelity, guilt and desire. It's about you and me and everything we are - and what happens when love isn't enough.

Daniel and Luke are unlikely best friends. Their bond has stood the test of time, through marriages, children and tragedies. But midlife is upon them and hidden truths are beginning to surface. Luke's hedonism is spiralling out of control, while Sarah fears for their future. And now Daniel has made a shocking discovery about his wife Kate, and doesn't know where to turn.

Four people, two couples, and a secret that threatens to destroy them all . . .

Everything We Are is a dark and addictive exploration of modern relationships, which plumbs the depths of the human heart and asks how well we can ever really know those closest to us.

Reviews
Darkly and steadily absorbing - the cool, even tone perfectly matched with the intimate, implosive subject matter. The characters are so plausibly and skilfully drawn . . . I loved it * Kate Murray-Browne *
What a read. Dark and addictive, Everything We Are is a brilliant exploration of broken people and destructive relationships. I loved it * Nikki Smith *
This book should come with a warning - don't start reading if you need an early night . . . Unnerving and exhilarating, it's a compelling and forensic exploration of love, marriage and happy ever after * Marianne Levy *
Totally addictive. An insightful and intriguing look into the minds of good or damaged characters who can't help behaving badly * Matt Cain *
A masterpiece . . . Here is a writer who really sees and understands the mechanics of human nature, who writes beautifully about love, but not the shiny, happy kind - more the difficult and resilient kind that comes after many years together. It's almost painful at times in its accuracy. It's sharp as knives * Laura Pearson *
This is a story about lack of communication, of secrets and lies and bottling things up. It's urban, slick and wonderfully written with plenty of sex, drugs and glossy modern lifestyle detail. But at its centre is someone twisted and sad and Angelico's great achievement is to create sympathy for him * Daily Mail *
A dark novel that we couldn't put down * Bella *
