Nina makes me laugh so much -- David Nicholls No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly. No one does a better job of making the ordinary phenomenal -- Katherine Heiny, author of <i>Early Morning Riser</i> Painfully funny, but also deeply moving. I never wanted it to end -- Meg Mason, author of <i>Sorrow and Bliss</i> What an utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend. I'm so sad it's over -- Marian Keyes So sharp and funny, blissfully gossipy, enviably well-observed — it’s like she has X-ray vision when it comes to human beings. I couldn’t stop reading it. I wish it were twice as long. I loved it -- India Knight I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a diary so much since I read Adrian Mole for the first time -- Daisy Buchanan Funny, warm, enlightening. The reading equivalent of getting the giggles in the back row of a school assembly -- Santham Sanghera, author of <i>Empireland</i> I loved this book. Stibbe’s joyful midlife observations, her nods to the wonders and absurdities of the everyday, are so life-affirming.
