Review
Marney gives chick lit a shot of adrenalin with a novel featuring one of literature s most repulsive love objects. Hard-core romance for the bitter and twisted. --The Independent (in 50 best summer reads)
Like her well received debut No Wonder I Take a Drink, Nobody Loves a Ginger Baby has a very wide appeal, from teens upwards...The plot is equally satisfying, with a few unexpected twists and turns. Marney shows rare insight into to the human condition and her unique style and wit have the reader laughing out loud one moment and incredibly sad the next. She manages to offset the gruesome reality with some sparkling banter. Some scenes are hilarious. Her writing, however dark,, is immensely energetic and a real breath of fresh air. --Jacqueline Wilson, Bristol Evening Post
The obtuse and faintly ridiculous is transformed into a hilarious edgy satire by a Scottish writer who has such a gift for dark humour her books have a heady whiff of Christopher Brookmyre without the body count. --Daily Record
