'Finished in one sitting. Had no idea where it was going but knew there was something lurking. Incredible twist. Ends with a final lap of the ride when you think it is all over . . . I will be recommending this to friends' Ericka Waller At seven o'clock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary tower block near Westminster, four strangers meet for the first time. They each have three things in common: all suffered a traumatic experience six months earlier; all exhibit a dogged inability to put it behind them; and all accepted an invitation to attend tonight's counselling session with the unconventional Genevieve - a determined woman with an unusual theory to test. But this isn't a novel about psychotherapy or self-forgiveness. Because there is another reason these four people have been brought together. And when that perfectly ordinary tower block near Westminster turns out to be not quite so ordinary, all five are forced to make some unexpected - and, for some, impossible - decisions . . . A novel about friendship, strength and love, The Seven O'Clock Club is a reminder that life can give you hope. Even in the darkest of spaces. READERS LOVE THE SEVEN O'CLOCK CLUB 'Heartwarming ... I had tears of joy in my eyes' 'Superbly well plotted and well paced. What I didn't expect was the twist...' 'This is a sit down and devour it in one sitting book, stays with you afterwards book' 'WHAT AN AMAZING BOOK! My easiest five stars so far this year' 'I was heartbroken, crying, laughing and just completely encouraging each character' The Seven O'Clock Club was a Sunday Times bestseller in the second week of April 2025.

She also writes romantic comedy under the pen name Rhoda Baxter. So why the two names? Well... Jeevani writes about British-Sri Lankan main characters. Rhoda, not so much.
