Review:
In this novel by the author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, risks run high as emotions. We fell in love with well-off but unhappily-married heroine Violet, who falls for roguish musician Teddy (COSMOPOLITAN)
From the author of bestseller Where'd You Go, Bernadette comes this darkly funny read about a marriage in trouble (WOMAN & HOME)
Violet Parry has it all - the rich, rock-band-manager husband, the adorable daughter and the huge house in the LA hills but... she's miserable! When she meets down-and-out local bass player Teddy Reyes, her life takes an unexpected turn. An awesome beach read! (COMPANY)
A pulse-racing read (NOW)
The author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette delivers a wickedly funny satire on the poor choices we make in the pursuit of happiness (PSYCHOLOGIES MAGAZINE)
British readers who loved TV scriptwriter Maria Semple's feted title, Where'd You Go, Bernadette, will be pleased to hear that her debut novel, This One is Mine is being published in the UK for the first time... much to be enjoyed (i NEWSPAPER)
On the surface, Violet Parry has it all - a wealthy and successful husband; a beautiful, not to mention much wanted and tried for, baby; and a dream Neutra-designed, $10m house in the Hollywood Hills - but this one-time "Ultra Violet", powerhouse screenwriter who's since been "felled" by motherhood now only wants one thing: the ex-junkie, jobbing bass player, Teddy Reyes... a warm, witty comedy with plenty of heart. (Lucy Scholes THE INDEPENDENT)
Last year many of us fell in love with Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette... It is just as easy to fall for Semple's exuberant prose in her first novel, This One is Mine... The dialogue zings... Semple also has a gift for describing physical comedy (THE TIMES)
The book is about picking yourself up from life's catastrophes and carrying on (SUNDAY EXPRESS)
Had me snorting into my tea (THE OBSERVER)

The sparkling debut novel of Maria Semple, author of the WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION-shortlisted WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE, including reading group notes.Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot.

When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the sportscaster savant who falls into her trap.
