Format:Paperback
This book is such a good read. The characterisation and dialogue are a joy. It literally made me laugh and cry. Susie Boyt is so good at depicting the emotional challenges that face people just trying to live in the world. And the writing completely brings the characters to life for the reader. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Entertaining First Novel
10 July 2007
Format:Paperback
Nice debut, with a soft Austen underbelly in the voice that's fun to read. Not as good as reviewers claim, of course, because these literary debuts hardly ever are, but a writer to watch out for. Worth reading.
