Critics Review
Punchline fuelled, relentless humour…I don’t think a woman is going to get much closer to the workings of a man’s mind than this. Giggling several times a page with plenty of out-loud laughs is guaranteed. Is John O’Farrell funny? Very * Daily Mirror *So funny because it rings true… Packed with painfully well-observed jokes * The Times *A hilarious confessional narrative. This wickedly observed page-turner lets bachelor-nostalgia joyride to its absurd conclusion… Piquant and irreverently sardonic * Literary Review *This is SO good… so insightful about men, women, love and parenthood that you read every page with a wince of recognition. Fab, fab, fab – India KnightExcellent… Things Can Only Get Better will make you laugh out loud – Angus Deayton
