I enjoy Jenny Eclair as a Stand-Up and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it, on holiday, in a couple of days where normally I take about three weeks to read a book! My Partner, who usually sticks to books by male Authors, read it as well and thoroughly enjoyed it too. Everday life, and emotions, feature in this book, and the characters are believable. We are both now looking to read Jenny's other book

After the brilliance of Camberwell Beauty, I eagerly awaited Jenny Eclair's next novel and haven't been disappointed. All the darkness and nastiness is still there and the ascerbic wit shines through. Hilairious. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who had a sense of humour and likes their novels with a touch of bitterness.

This is a fantastic read...... I laughed so much it hurt.
Because of the language, I had doubts lending it my mum, but guess what?..... she loved it! I have now ordered Camberwell Beauty. Well done to the author, can't wait for the next one.

I'm not really a big Jenny Eclair fan as far as her TV work goes, so was pleasantly surprised at this book and her other book Camberwell Beauty. Read more

What an absolute delight!
Had a very long car journey last week so decided to try an audio book. This was the only one they had in the local library that I fancied. Read more

crude but FAB!
Read this after reading Jenny's other book. Loved it even more. It's crude, vile & sick but you cannot stop reading. Read more

Do `happy families' even exist?
On the plus side, this book is both honest and funny, however, the characters are a bit caricature-ish, and it's just too obvious which ones you're supposed to like. Read more

I had a fabulous time!
I really did, reading this book made me laugh and cry. Jenny Eclair has really rounded the characters out nicely and you really feel for the underdogs in the book. Read more
