MEDIA REVIEWS
'I adored this book, and could quote from it forever. It's real, odd, life-affirming, sharp, loving, and contains more than one reference to Arsenal FC.' - Nick Hornby, The Believer
'Last year, we had Roger Mortimer's splendidly bufferish Dear Lupin: Letters to a Wayward Son. Love, Nina - funny, quirky, vivid and touching - is every bit its equal.' - Daily Mail
'I loved this book. What a beady eye she has for domestic life, and how deliciously fresh and funny she is - a real discovery.' - Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
'Breezy, sophisticated, hilarious, rude and aching with sweetness: Love, Nina might be the most charming book I've ever read.' - Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette
'Funny, warm, life-affirming and accutely well-observed, Love, Nina is a gift that will keep on giving... A hoot.' - Metro
'The snippets of dialogue and vingettes evoke the characters and atmosphere brilliantly... Funny, sharp.' - Evening Standard
'Even if Adrian Mole wrote about the Primrose Hill set, it wouldn't be as funny and absorbing as Love, Nina.' - Psychologies
'Like a 1980s Mary Poppins with a sense of humour.' - Stylist
'The funniest new writer to arrive in years.' - Andrew O'Hagan
'Adrian Mole meets Mary Poppins mashed up in literary north London... Enormous fun.' - Bookseller

“Sharp and Sweet”
I know, I know. You should never judge a book by its cover. But I do. I've found that most pink-coloured books aren't really my cup of tea. Likewise black ones with gold or silver embossed writing. And this... More
