I’m a huge fan of Daisy May Cooper, so really wanted to like this and thank god it met my expectations. Loved the main characters and being also set in Cornwall was a bonus. One gripe- Cornish people call tourists Emmets not grockles!!

I read this because I love Daisy May Cooper's comedy, and I expected it to be a good laugh and it absolutely was - but it was also so much more than this. I think she's a brilliant writer - she created very real characters, a fantastic storyline with some great twists and turns and handled some really sad subjects with both humour and complete honesty. I enjoyed every moment of this book from start to finish.

I loved this! I’m not a huge fiction fan but I am a huge fan of Daisy May Cooper! This was such a great book in many ways. The book had a real British family feel to it, and living in Devon myself, felt close to home. I did predict the tracker in Twat, but I didn’t see anything else coming! A really lovely feel-good book, with lots of honesty about what family and life in general can be like.

This was so fun. I love Daisy as a comedian, love all her shows and everything so I had thought I’d like this, even though this sort of fiction isn’t my normal cup of tea. I laughed, was shocked and had a great time reading it. I really hope she writes more.

Brilliant.

A wonderfully well written book, it made me laugh, cry, feel angry and happy. I read it in 2 evenings as I didn't want to put it down. So good to read a book about women that are normal! And have a sense of bloody humour when they're over 30. Looking forward to Daisies next book.
