[Josephine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my second (the first one I lent to a friend without reading it yet) Jessica Zafra book. It was a gift from a friend.

I must say that I'm really glad for reading this one. Jessica Zafra has a way of turning the absurd, the ridiculous, and the infuriating into a hilarious one.

Looking forward to reading more of her books from now on. ^__^

I'd love to have a coffee with Jessica Zafra with chitchats just about anything. She's such a no-nonsense woman.

[Conrado Luis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahhhh, the rants and ravings of middle-aged women.

Really nice that I get to see the other side of the picture.

Time-killer on the bus or train ride home.

4.5/5 for sheer fun.

Jessica Zafra's twisted takes your mind to places you've probably never visited until now. Hilarious, straight to the point and painfully realistic but you'll still find yourself ROFL.
