‘Relatable for every stage of your thirties – both joyfully and painfully. Every character is so richly drawn I feel like I know them – I’ve been to the pub with these girls, been through their break-ups, arguments and reconciliations. A must-read full of heart, especially if you’re this age and worrying that you’re the only one who hasn’t got it all figured out yet.’ Stephanie Steel, author of The Train from Platform 2
‘That Time Everything Was On Fire made me giggle and weep. A touching, true-to-life story of friendship, the tensions and pressures of your thirties, and proper Northern representation.’ Sarah Handyside, author of Instructions for Heartbreak
