Reviews

'The voice is sharp, the plot is compelling, the jokes are funny and sometimes startling, as the very best comedy is... Every page is packed with good jokes, keen observations and idiosyncratically wonderful prose... It made my brain do interesting, uncomfortable things and left me questioning my beliefs about attraction, grief, how recovery works, and a dozen other fundamental things' - Sandra Newman, Guardian 'Incredible book. I couldn't put it down.' - JODIE COMER 'Utterly addictive. I laughed so hard it ached.' - GILLIAN ANDERSON 'Made me laugh and think too much (the right amount?) about sex and death and honesty.' - MONICA HEISEY 'Juicy, salacious and compelling.' - SARA PASCOE 'One of the funniest books of the last few years.' - LA TIMES 'Big Swiss is a dark party.' - MELISSA BRODER 'Brilliantly funny.' - SUNDAY TIMES 'This is a funny, sex-filled, entertaining read celebrating women in ways you can't miss.' - Francesca Brown, Stylist 'By turns funny, eccentric and raunchy.' - Helen Whitaker, Grazia
