Reviews taken from The People's Book Prize website:
What a lovely book! I took this on holiday with me and laughed out loud from my sun-lounger! Brilliant observations and quirky plot....I didn't leave the book behind because I wanted to lend it to my friends at home. Well done Hattie, I hope this is the first of many ....please give us some more.
Beautifully written, touching story. I will happily recommend.
Love this book! Poignant & funny.
A fabulous, witty and moving read!
I got the strangest looks on the tube...as I gaffawed and spluttered my way along the district line. Great fun with characters that stay with you.
I loved this book, a real page turner! Perfect holiday reading!
Brilliant story which takes place in my neighbourhood in West London, with well observed characters. Funny and emotionally charged at the same time
Hattie Holden Edmonds is a writer ahead of her time . There is fantastic humour in her stories which are full of acute observation and understanding of the human condition , Beautifully crafted and inspirational , we should all have one on our shelves.
