Funny, moving, totally gripping, I just wanted to start it all over again the moment I'd finished it' Harriet Evans'If you have read Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series, you'll know what we mean when we say you'll get the same sniggering-on-the-bus moments' Heat'Girlie, fun and well written, this will definitely make you giggle' Closer'If you fancy a splash of humour with your romance then you’ll love Lizzy Harrison Loses Control' Sunday Express'The novel explores that age where you should really see yourself as being a grown-up but are still able to feel so much of your teenage self, a period of time that I believe lots of women in their twenties and early thirties will admit to finding difficult. Wright shows that Kate is still developing and growing as a person through a mixture of laugh-out-loud moments and memories that make you want to weep for her. Despite some harrowing events plus some moments of self-doubt, the novel is light-hearted, optimistic and left me with a smile on my face. A thoroughly enjoyable and superbly written tale!' Novelicious.com'This novel is full of humour, heart, superb characters and wise sentiment. Pippa Wright is, without a doubt, one of my most favourite writers of women’s fiction. Her stories are refreshing, utterly modern and not at all frilly. I love it when reading a book leaves you feeling like you’ve just spent the night chatting to a friend.' Caroline Smailes, author of 99 Reasons Why'I managed to get through this book in less than 24 hours so would definitely recommend it!' lauralovelockbookreviews.wordpress.com
