"Sittenfeld is a clever and refreshing writer... Likeable and compelling... Witty and astute... The result is impressive but most of all enjoyable" The Sunday Times "Good-humoured, deeply engaging... Brilliant... Gratifying and elucidating" Guardian "Delightful... Entertaining and thought-provoking... Sittenfeld's cut-glass prose and razor-sharp observations take her work to another level" Observer "Funny and painfully true... Closing it for the last time, you feel like you're losing a new best friend" Marie Claire "Razor-sharp... Sittenfeld's prose, which has that elusive ability to seduce you without you ever noticing The writing, is a joy to read, and her characters a joy to spend time with" Time Out
