'As a comic novelist, Stibbe is so truly incomparable, I can only describe this perfect novel as Stibbe meets Stibbe, with a touch of Stibbe. (And if you love Nina Stibbe ... you’ll love this.) For as long as I could make it last, the world just felt a bit nicer. A true gift of a novel, I utterly adored it' Meg Mason

‘I started off highlighting all the brilliant observations and one-liners but had to give up because there were so many. Nina Stibbe makes being funny look easy, but that’s just because she’s very, very good at it.’ Clare Chambers

‘Nina Stibbe is not just very funny but absolutely life-affirming’ Jenny Colgan

‘Clever and funny ... As with all Stibbe’s writing there is a pleasingly perfect balance of wisdom with jokes ... I loved it’ Cathy Rentzenbrink

'For beautifully funny and well-observed comic writing, Nina Stibbe is your go-to author. In her latest release, a tale of lifelong friendship between Susan and Norma, she explores the mistakes, rivalries and love we all experience in life' Stylist
