Reviews

Praise for Pauline McLynn: 'Scandal, infidelity, secrets and souffl are all explored with a healthy dollop of humour * Express *
Hilariously funny follow-up to Something for the Weekend. With the perfect balance of humour, adventure and romance, Pauline McLynn makes crafting witty, fast-paced fiction look like a doddle * OK! *
A surprisingly gentle, relaxed story... confident, assured * The Times *
Packed with cheeky sarcasm and wit * Company *
An upbeat, chatty novel * Daily Mail *
If this book receives the critical judgement it deserves, it will forever bury the ghost of a demented housekeeper and proclaim the emergence of one of the most interesting Irish writers in years * Sunday Business Post *
Funny and snappy...will sit well on a shelf next to such writers as Cathy Kelly, Morag Prunty and Marian Keyes * Sunday Tribune *
