Reviews
A natural storyteller . . . compulsive reading * Guardian *
Optimism and despair come in equal parts in Wilson's child-centred contemporary dramas * Oxford Times *
I loved this book. It is honest and sensitive and a really quick read - that's because you'll need to keep turning the pages to find out what happens to Lola Rose, and Kendall, and her mum . . . highly recommended * Reading Matters *
A truly great read! * Yorkshire Post *
The fact that it doesn't end in a fairy tale happy ever after makes it more realistic because life isn't like that! * Boox: nine *
