Review

You'll experience her humiliations and her triumphs alongside her and be left with a wonderful uplifting sense that it is possible to take the world on in your own terms. -- Adele Parks * Platinum Magazine *
A novel of immense charm, warmth, humour and quiet subversion. A triumph of 'feel-good' without the cliches. -- Elizabeth Fremantle, author of Disobedient
A really warm and buoyant read, perfect for fans of Lucy Dillon or Alexandra Potter. -- Niamh Hargan, author of The Break Up Clause
'Daisy is unique and refreshing. I went through every high and low with her - I wept and I laughed...a lot. A ten out of ten read. -- Josie Lloyd, author of The Cancer Ladies' Running Club
Fabulous. A wonderful, uplifting shot in the arm. I loved it - you'll love it too. -- Amanda Prowse, author of To Love and Be Loved and An Ordinary Life
