Reviews

'Will certainly stir pre-teen interest ... Told with her usual readable style.'
*The Bookseller*

'Delightful.'
*The Observer*

'Mix some Adrian Mole-style philosophising with Judy Blume-type teenage angst and you have the recipe for Girls in Love, a hilarious, deftly written novel.'
*BBC Family Life Magazine*

'There are tender moments, such as when the heroine visits heartbroken Nadine, and the funny narrative, filled with British colloquialisms, and clever exchanges with Dan make this a breezy read.'
