About this title

Review

The hottest property in town. You can feel success rising off her like steam (Evening Standard)

'I devoured Honeymoon in one big gulp on the way to Italy for my weekend away and thought it was delightful! I see just what you mean - it is cleverer and more thoughtful than most of what is out there in the same ball park - and sweeter too. I had a real little pang for Honey at the end when she goes to find her parents' grave and Ed finds her there (tho I must confess I wanted to slap her for most of the book cos I just thought Ed was yummy and she didn't deserve him, the silly mare...). Anyway, really enjoyed it and will be word of mouthing good things about it like crazy...' Judith Murray

Will certainly have Hollywood's studios clamouring for the film rights (Observer)

'This year's summer sizzler. A tale of a smart, single girl screwing up the search for her perfect mate is wacky and wise on the whos, hows and must-haves of love for life.' PS Magazine

'It displays the same sure touch - funny, knowing and utterly authentic - that Amy showed in THIS LIFE' You

HONEYMOON is simply wonderful - so powerful and funny and compelling, and without a trace of dizzy fizzy saccharine. Makes me want to follow Amy Jenkins around bribing her with sweets to be my friend. It's an eye-wetting read and makes SEPARATE TABLES look like two footstools. Will recommend it to all. (Fiona Walker)

Amy Jenkins' tale of a smart single girl screwing up the search for her perfect mate is the latest in this genre. As the best it should also be the last - wacky in its proposition on What If You Meet The Man Of Your Dreams On Your Honeymoon? and - post-multiple mishaps - wise on the whos, the hows and the must-haves of love for life. (Madeleine Kingsley)

'Told with zest and a satisfyingly grown-up ring of cynicism' Aura

There seems to be a bottomless market at the moment for witty clever stories about girls finding husbands, social-life fiction. If that's what you want, what you're in the mood for, stop right here: this is the one for you. Amy Jenkins does witty and clever a great deal better than most. (Independent)

'Jenkins pulls it off with spectacular brilliance. The characters are three-dimensional, the plot is smart, the angst is convincing and compulsive . . . A cracking book' Minx
