'I loved this ... it's warm, funny and made me cry (a couple of times). It is also really well written ... Perfect for a summer's day with not much else on since you'll want to read it in one sitting' -- Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail 'So funny and so much fun, it's impossible to believe it's Geraghty's first ...

But there's death and guilt, too, in this sometimes dark, tear-jerking novel' **** -- Company 20080830 'Perfect pace and plenty of banter help Geraghty's debut hit the right balance between hilariously funny and poignant ... accessible and charming.' -- Image, Ireland 20080801 'Move over Marian, it's Ciara ... impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time ... lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs.' -- Irish Independent Review 20080809 'Debut poignant chick-lit with bite, a charming heroine, addictive style, and a sensitive plot full of guilt, misunderstandings and lots of heart. Nice one' -- Bookseller 20080809 'A touching story of a flawed but loveable heroine' -- U magazine 20080809 'This laugh out loud page-turner is full of characters you long to know ...
