Reviews

‘I absolutely ADORED People Pleaser. I have never related so much to a book! As a lifelong people pleaser myself, it resonated deeply with me.’ -- Briony May Williams 'As a recovering people-pleaser myself, I ADORED this novel from Bryony Gordon. Riotously funny, and sharply observed, it is a must read for any woman who has ever tried so hard to please everyone else, they’ve ended up losing themselves.' -- Jennie Godfrey ‘People Pleaser is like therapy in rom-com form. So many people are going to relate to Olivia, and cheer her on as she actually puts herself first at last. I so enjoyed this fresh, unique rom-com.’ -- Beth O’Leary ‘Insightful, inspirational and SO much fun’ -- Marian Keyes Written with her inimitable warmth and briskness, Gordon delivers a much welcome shot of therapy. People Pleaser offers some important truths: that trauma descends generations; that people pleasers unnecessarily take on other's shit; and that by valuing ourselves, and modelling self-belief, we help our children. -- Sarah Hall
