Review:
What makes the characters and their stories distinct are four excellent narrators who take up each tale from its own point of view.... the memorable observations and clever conclusion make for six glorious hours of escapism. (Christina Hardyment THE TIMES)
This is chick lit with a darker side, making it a realistic modern story¿. the readers make the characters far more rounded and add a believability factor. Taking nothing away from the written form, the addition of voice made us actually compare the characters with people we know! The story explores relationships and friendship with an uncanny perception that makes it addictive stuff. Instead of being tempted to turn another page, you will find it hard to press stop on the remote. (www.FromBumptoGrump.co.uk)
