About this listen

Three women. One dog park. Things are about to get messy.

Val Caruso, Alex Reed, and June Kennerson come from completely different worlds—Val is a tough-talking private investigator; Alex is reticent, nervous and on the run from her past; and June is an athlete turned housewife whose true love is her pup.

When Val is hired by June’s husband to find out if June is cheating on him, it sets these three women on a collision course. Amid a colorful cast of characters who spend time at the shabby but beloved Hamilton Park Dog Park, they find they have more in common than they thought. Soon June is brave enough to aim for what she wants, Alex finds excitement she never expected, and Val is reluctantly opening her heart to the most high-maintenance dog she’s ever met. But when their secrets catch up with them, will their newfound friendships be able to withstand the pressure? Or will they find themselves in the doghouse?

Social Animals is a funny and sharp social commentary on community, privilege, dog ownership, and the ultimate power of finding your people (and your pets).

Critic reviews

"Social Animals reads much like having and loving a dog. It's funny, surprising, heartwarming, comforting and the entire adventure goes by much too fast and leaves you wanting to experience it all over again. I devoured this book and you will too." —Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants and Take Me with You

"Witty, atmospheric and full of heart, Social Animals blends humour and suspense in a way that feels wonderfully real. Perri captures the vulnerability of new friendships, the thrill of hidden truths, and the quiet power of the animals who bring us together. I loved it." —Joanna Wallace, nationally bestselling author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost

"Three very different women collide in this hilarious, surprising, suspenseful novel. With twists upon twists, secrets wrapped in lies, and friendship sprinkled with sexual tension, I couldn't read it fast enough. The ending had me screaming. What an absolutely masterful delight. I'm a Camille Perri fan for life." —Gabrielle Korn, author of The Shutouts
