Review:

'Perfect characters and dialogue - the most satisfying book I've ever read' Jane Green, Red 'A story, like Mansfield Park, of falling in love with a whole family' A. N. Wilson, Spectator 'The style is hectic and passionate, the jokes thick and fast, the emotions full and right, the humanity total and engulfing ... a first fruit to savour and exalt' Andrew Sinclair, The Times 'There are few modern tales of first love and its disillusions that are as thoroughly realised, as brilliantly lewd, and as hilariously satisfying to men and women of all ages as this one' Rachel Cusk

Review:

'An unpretentious and very funny book ... Barbara Trapido has that rare ability to make her characters respond to small misfortunes and irritations exactly as people do. ' (The New York Times)

'Funny, charming, teeming with life, and real.' (Esquire)
