Praise for Home Truths:
‘An engrossing emotional drama that's sure to feature on best-seller lists.’ Eve
‘You'll laugh, cry, then laugh some more.’ Company
‘If you like chick-lit with a generous side-helping of sex, you’ll devour this. An eye-poppingly sexy start leads into a family reunion laced with secrets. Tangled mother/daughter relationships unravel and tantalising family riddles keep you glued to the end.’ Cosmopolitan
‘Freya North manages to strike a good balance between drama, comedy and romance, and has penned another winner in Home Truths…touching, enjoyable.’ Heat
More praise for Freya North:
‘Freya North has matured to produce an emotive novel that deals with the darker side of love – these are real women with real feelings.’ She
‘Tantrums, tarts, tears and text-sex…what’s not to love about this cautionary tale for true romantics?’ Heat
‘A distinctive storytelling style and credible, loveable characters…an addictive read that encompasses the stuff life is made of: love, sex, fidelity and, above all, friendship.’ Glamour
Product Description
The warm and sexy new novel from the bestselling author of Love Rules and Home Truths.
Petra Flint and Arlo Savidge were teenage sweethearts in a chaste, old-fashioned way. They never really told each other how they felt.
Now, years later, Petra is a jeweller by day but by night she is a sleepwalker, never fully able to rest. Arlo is living in North Yorkshire, teaching at an eccentric boys' boarding school. Like Petra, he carries with him something that makes it hard to sleep at night.
In an ice-cream shop one rainy day Arlo and Petra stand before each other once again. Is this their second chance? Isn't old gold as good as new? However, for love to blossom, they must finally put their pasts to bed. A past Petra can't quite remember. A past Arlo wants to forget.

Freya North just gets better and better. I am a hard woman to please these days - I generally fling a book to one side if it hasn't captured my attention within the first couple of pages. Life's too short to wade through wishy-washy writing when theres good stuff begging for attention. And Pillow Talk is excellent stuff. It has everything I enjoy in a book: interesting characters whose lives and words make me laugh, gasp or cry. Petra is essentially a Freya North 'typical' female character - nice with a few endearing quirky traits. Arlo, our hero and love interest is a man we'd all love to call our own. The people they call their friends are people I'd love to meet and spend time with. The time I spent with these delightful characters in Pillow Talk came to an end all too soon - but I can always go back, pick up my book and meet them again. It's that kind of book. Highly recommended.

I look after a pair of lively 3 month old twins, and had found that I really needed something to kill the time between their naps. I came across this as a freebie in cosmo, and I can honestly say i've never been happier with magazine freebie. I generally tend to find that I read the first couple of pages from a book that I recieve at Christmas, before tossing it aside. However, Pillow Talk had me gripped from the first page and I found that I couldn't put it down, finishing it within the first two days. I have nothing but praise for this book, it being the first i've completed in a couple of years.
Love, sex, dramna and jewelry, theres not much more to life.
Pillow talk will have you cringing, biting the pillow, hastily, yet delightfully skimming pages, to finally being completely immersed in those raunchy parts ;) The characters were so realistic and likeable, I felt as though they were friends I had known all my life, and yet at the same time, were people I really wished I could meet.
10/10, 5 Stars, whichever you prefer, but I will definitely be going to buy the rest of her collection once i've finished this review, my highest praises to Freya North.

Having read some of Freya's early novels such as 'Cat', I gave up on her for a while as I found them to be a bit arty farty, but I was sent this book to review and really enjoyed it. It's the story of Petra, a jeweller who sleepwalks for no apparent reason. Throughout the book, she tries to discover what causes her condition, but along the way finds true love and a new direction for her career.
I'd recommend this book to all fans of womens' fiction - it's a good read.

boring, unimaginative, predictable
This read like a book written by a first year creative writing student. Premise was good but story around the premise was not created very well
