Critics Review
I loved this book! As well as being an interesting insight into the time, effort, thought and emotions we all put into our things, Helen ends each chapter with questions that really get you thinking (in a good way) about your relationship with your possessions.

This book is full of practical wisdom! – Bryony Gordon, author of MAD GIRL
