Nikki Smith studied English Literature at the University of Birmingham University, before pursuing a career in finance where she worked for various companies including BDO and Morgan Stanley. Following a ‘now or never’ moment, she applied for a Curtis Brown creative writing course where she started writing her debut novel All in her Head  which was pre-empted by Orion in a two book deal. It went on to be an Amazon bestseller, was nominated for the Guardian ‘Not The Booker Prize’ and has been optioned for TV. 

Her second novel, Look What You Made Me Do,was published in 2021 and her latest novel The Beach Party is out now.

The Beach Party 
Six friends.
The holiday of their dreams.
One night that changed it all . . .

1989: The tunes are loud and the clothes are louder when a group of friends arrives in Mallorca for a post-graduation holiday of decadence and debauchery at a luxury villa.

A beach party marks the pinnacle of their fun, until it isn't fun any longer. Because amidst the wild partying - sand flying from dancing feet and revellers leaping from yachts - an accident happens. Suddenly, the night of a lifetime becomes a living nightmare.

Now: The truth about that summer has been collectively buried. But someone knows what happened that night.

And they want the friends to pay for what they did.
