* Daily Mail *‘You know that annoying expression "You had me at hello"? Well, that’s a bit how I’d sum up the effect bestselling author Isla Dewar’s latest book had on me. From the opening chapter, intriguingly called It Never Just Drizzles in Hollywood, I was hooked, immediately attracted to the three main protagonists Sophie, Martha and Charlie’
* Dundee Courier *‘Wit, warmth and charm’
* Scotsman *'A story with as much heart as drama, and though there are plenty of puzzles for the characters to solve, it is kindness rather than cleverness that leads to solutions in the end'
* West Coast Review *Isla Dewar worked as a magazine journalist (it was all rock’n’roll and other delicious agonies) before writing her first novel, Keeping Up With Magda.
