' Dunlop tells a darkly funny...tale of a marriage in crisis. By offering both parties' perspectives and a light touch on the subject of marital break-up, What We Didn't Say recalls the shifting points of view of novels like One Day by David Nicholls and Laura Barnett's recent debut The Versions of Us. Dunlop also pays homage to the domestic noir genre. A psychotic model, a tabloid media out for blood and two unreliable narrators in Laura and Jack add a sense of menace that should appeal to fans of SJ Watson's Before I Go To Sleep.'
