Jennifer Gilby Roberts has a degree in physics and a postgraduate certificate in computing, so writing fiction was inevitable really. She was born and grew up in Surrey/Greater London, but now lives in Richmond, North Yorkshire with her husband, small daughter, two middle-aged cats and a lot of dust bunnies. She also has a grown-up step-daughter and a large extended family (by marriage).

She's written two novels, both in the chick-lit genre, four nov

Quotes by Jennifer Gilby Roberts  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Don't you think you're a little old now to be quoting The Chronicles of Narnia?' I ask, raising an eyebrow at him.
'You read Harry Potter,' Will protests.
'Everyone reads Harry Potter,' I exclaim. 'It's an institution. Besides, it's not really a kids book, it's a metaphor for the world at large. It's almost philosophical in its way.”
Jennifer Gilby Roberts, The Dr Pepper Prophecies

“All my teachers told me that a degree would mean a high paid
job. They lied.”
Jennifer Gilby Roberts, The Dr Pepper Prophecies

“When I was interviewing Beth as a potential flatmate, I asked her about her hobbies. She said she enjoyed cooking for others. I asked her when she could move in.”
Jennifer Gilby Roberts, The Dr Pepper Prophecies
