Critics Review

Excellent … Dark but uplifting

Gripping, hilarious and tender, this is, without doubt, one of the books of the year - Daily Mail

The novel brilliantly captures parent-child relations in the raw and the emotions that even the most experienced social worker can’t tame - Independent

An amusing and unsettling story - Saturday Guardian

This is family life at its most believable: warm and messy, bored and raging. WHAT I DID is every parent’s nightmare, but will make you burst out laughing too. I loved it. - Emma Donoghue, author of ROOM

I loved it! Staggeringly good. Terrifyingly good - Lisa Jewell

Hugely impressive, gripping, funny and thought provoking - Emily Barr

Excellent … Dark but uplifting - Alex Preston

[A] fine, challenging novel - Mail on Sunday
