Critics Review

“I howled with laughter. Derry Girls but better, with such a massive heart” – Joanna Nadin”[B]rilliantly channels the acerbic putdowns and frank humour of TV’s Derry Girls and Sex Education… Smart, well observed and highly entertaining” – Fiona Noble * Observer *“Romantic, hilarious and full of crazy capers, Smyth’s second novel also quietly conveys the grinding anxiety of growing up poor without parental support” * Guardian *”[A] charming novel for young lesbians” * The Bookseller *“Witty and engaging. This engaging novel will hook readers immediately.” – starred review * School Library Journal *
