This was intriguing and made me want to read more of her books. Original story and darkly funny. The ending was odd though.

Average, unmemorable but easy enough to read.

I feel bad for bailing on this, I think I could have enjoyed it but just a bit silly.

Perfect for lying on a beach, easy to read.

Chosen for me at book club, this was a new genre for me. Memoir of a brain surgeon but told really well through stories of patients. Really enjoyed it and would recommend.

Really original story and hard to put down. Only rating this as 4/5 because the ending didn‘t hold up to the rest of the book.

Loved it. Hard going because it‘s so sad and the text in the paper copy is TINY! But just so good.

One of my favourite books of the year. Beautiful writing and personal stories tell the story of war so well. I will read this again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked this but the ending was a damp squib. Title doesn‘t bear any resemblance to what the story is about really.

Another book club read. Hard to like the writer so this was tough going.

If fantasy is your thing, this is very good. I read this for book club and was pleasantly surprised but still not my thing.

I think this had the potential to be good from a story perspective but I hated the way it was written and bailed before the end.

Chosen at our book club because it‘s ‘a classic‘. Hmmm, not for me.

A treat, not surprised this is on best seller lists.

Repetitive, far longer than it needed to be. Gave up at half way.

Original, brilliant. Perfect book club choice. Sobbed a lot reading this though.

Read in one sitting, a real page-turner, ideal holiday reading. Have recommended this often.

Beach fodder. Good, but leaves you pining for the days of Malory Towers.

Brilliant. And oh the ending...

Lengthy but great crime writing and character development.

Easy to read and enjoyable story, if not left wanting a bit more at the end.

It‘s Bridget, what more can I say?

Dark but brilliantly written, 4/5.

My Kindle tells me I‘ve read this. Can‘t have been memorable. A shame, because I‘ve really enjoyed some of her other books.

Funny and poignant. A must read for woman and girls everywhere.

Loved it. Beautiful writing, had to put down at one pint because of the emotion of the story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First book club choice - tough going, lots written in dialect and difficult to work out what was actually happening in the story.
