Review
"You could find yourself as Nicky Haslam's `plus one' at the swellest parties with his delicious memoir."
--Harpers Bazaar, Naomi West
This is a wonderfully entertaining memoir, gossipy, touching and tender, even if at times it verges on self-parody. --Literary Review
Nicky is featured as a `style hero' --Sunday Times
'Society gossip galore by the gadfly's gadfly' --Daily Mail
`this really rather wonderful book is about a life devoted to "Looking the part"' --Daily Telegraph
`Haslam is an intriguing man...[and] can write wonderfully well' --The Spectator
'the joy of this book comes from Nicky's undying joie de vivre'
--Indemepdent on Sunday
'gloriously entertaining' --Tatler
`Haslam writes evociatively and touchingly'
--TLS
It is... boisterously good company and proof that if Haslam knows one thing, it's that you can only get away with a life like his if you are never, ever boring. --Metro
A terrifically entertaining read! --Daily Mail
Extremely diverting, essentially kind-hearted and well-written. --Evening Standard
