Synopsis
Underbelly - [n.] singular.
The soft underside or abdomen of a mammal.
An area vulnerable to attack.
A dark, hidden part of society.
Lo and Dylan are living parallel lives, worlds apart.
Lo is the ultimate middle-class mother, all perfectly polished Instagram posts and armchair activism.
Dylan is just about surviving on a zero-hours telemarketing job from her flat, trying to keep food on the table.
But when they meet at the school gates, they are catapulted into each other's homes and lives - with devastating consequences . . .
Explosive, sharply humorous and unflinchingly honest, Underbelly slices through the filtered surface of modern women's lives to expose the dark truth beneath.

External Reviews
'Darkly voyeuristic but with heart - as funny as it is painful and true. We loved it' - Google Review.
"I don't think I've ever turned the pages of a book so quickly. This is the first book I've read that really captures life online - the satire is so sharp, but the emotional core of the story is so tender and pulsing. This is truly excellent storytelling." - Daisy Buchanan.
' A compelling story about the complexities of female friendships and the dark side of the Internet.' - Heat.
"Anna and Matt write in their signature style: entertaining and playful but with huge depth, meaning and heart. Underbelly invites us all down the rabbit hole into the wild, weird and sometimes wonderful corners of the Internet. I raced through it." - Emma Gannon.
"I really enjoy books that look at this crazy social media soaked world we live in and Underbelly brilliantly combines the scary, dangerous realities (of the hidden side) of a life lived online with an engrossing story and complex characters you feel invested in." - Goodreads Review.
