Put simply, I love Georgia as a writer and a woman. Funny, moving, insightful, vulnerable. A brave book and a brilliant read.

A fantastically entertaining and surprising book. I knew I would laugh - and I did, several times on every page. She is hilarious - exuberantly funny, wickedly funny, wryly funny, darkly funny. All the funnies. But this book really shook my heart too. To read it is to meet the kindest, warmest, most wisecracking companion you could hope for. Georgia Pritchett is the new friend we all need right now.

This is one of the funniest, most inspiring books I have read in a long time - I demand that Georgia write three more volumes immediately - we NEED them! I was a mess after reading this beautiful book - I never knew that I could belly-laugh, weep, snort and howl all at the same time. I am going to buy a crate-load of copies and make sure that everybody I know reads it.
