Reviews

"A hilarious read" - Star

'This is a gem of a book: a perfect antidote to all the mawkish, unfunny chick-lit on the market. Let's hope this is the first of many' - Woman's Way

Author Bio

Lucy was educated in Catford and Cambridge. She was briefly a very bad solicitor before leaving for a much nicer job in a bookshop. Six years ago she got work experience at the Guardian and hung around until they gave her a job. She is now a columnist and features writer there and writes for magazines, including Grazia, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan, whenever they ask her.
