Reasonable People

Caroline Hulse

"I love Caroline Hulse's books. She has an amazing ability to take unlikeable characters and make me fall unexpectedly in love with them. Reasonable People is warm, thoughtful, clever - the sort of book you'll think about long after you've finished." BETH O'LEARY on Reasonable People

'A nuanced and contemporary comedy of errors, like all of Caroline Hulse's books, Reasonable People hits the perfect sweet spot of funny, endearing and heartbreaking. A must-read for anyone with other human beings in their life.' CHARLOTTE RIXON, author of The One That Got Away.


CantBeArsed8: Am I the villain for being furious my partner's father changed my daughter's pirate party into a princess party?

REASONABLE PEOPLE is a sharp, funny and timely comedy-of-errors about a feuding family.

After a kid's party faux-pas, mother Janine anonymously vents about her father-in-law's behaviour on internet forum Am I The Villain Here? When the community is invited to take sides the post goes viral, with mild-mannered Roy ending up in the national newspapers and sparking protests at his local library. REASONABLE PEOPLE explores how judging others reveals our deepest, most unreasonable selves - with Hulse's trademark heart, humour and humanity.
