What They're Saying
Critics Review
I could not put [Jill’s] book down. She guides us through her career and her life, and what leaps off the page is her strength, her compassion and her unswerving loyalty to people who were sometimes afraid to live their real lives. I am so pleased that Jill has had the chance to tell her story. We should all ‘Be More Jill’ – Lesley Joseph, actor and broadcasterA beautiful, raw, tender book remembering friendships in the eye of the storm – Russell T Davies, creator of Channel 4’s IT’S A SINAs it happens, I was also a Jill in the eighties - but not half as good a Jill as real Jill * Dawn French *Engrossing, heart-breaking and inspiring, this is the perfect companion piece to IT’S A SIN * MATT CAIN, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE *Took me right back. [Jill has] brought it all to life. A wonderful, wonderful work … Thank God for people like [Jill] who got up, stood up and said, “We need to do something about this.” … I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Obviously very sad, but bloody funny as well! – Michael BallLove From the Pink Palace is a beautiful yet emotional rollercoaster… Jill writes with ease, this makes it surprising this is her first book. Each chapter is filled with light and dark. They appear so close to each other that you go from crying to full-on belly laughing. * Richard Angell, Campaigns Director - Terrence Higgins Trust *
