'I read all ofReasons To Be Cheerfulin one glorious gulp'Caitlin Moran


____________________________________ Teenager Lizzie Vogel has a new job as a dental assistant. This is not as glamorous as it sounds. At least it means mostly getting away from her alcoholic, nymphomaniacal, novel-writing mother. But, if Lizzie thinks being independent means sex with her boyfriend (he prefers bird-watching), strict boundaries (her boss keeps usingherloo) or self-respect (surely only actual athletes get fungal foot infections?) she's still got a lot more growing up to do.

Recenzii

Stibbe's comedy probes what it means to become an adult, and how we form our financial, sexual, moral and political selves

Lives up to its title
My friends, you will UTTERLY ADORE Nina Stibbe's latest novelReasons To Be Cheerful . . .It is SO SO funny, charming, odd-in-the-best-way and gorgeously uplifting!A delight from start to finish
So dense with amusing detailthat I thought aboutholding the book upside down to see if any extra funny bits might spillfrom the creases between the page
I read all ofReasons To Be Cheerfullast night in one GLORIOUS gulpand it's SUCH a joy - Nina Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone else in the game.It just CARTWHEELS
If you loved Adrian Mole you'll adore Lizzie Vogel. . . quirky and witty, it also packs an emotional punch
Comedy gold. . . Reasons To Be Cheerfulisjust the read you need right now, seamlesslyweaving together the big themes of life with charm and warmth
Reasons to be Cheerful's tone has been compared to Sue Townsend's but I could haul in Alan Bennett, Barbara Pym and even Jane Austen. . . she writes brilliantly
The true heir to Sue Townsend
Full of comedy, but with moving themes of loss and grief, it'san utterly charming coming of age story. A reason to be cheerful indeed
A joyfully meandering, episodic novel that probes what it means to become an adult
Very few writers can find the delicate balance between heartbreak and hilarity like Nina Stibbe
This made me laugh and broke my heart, it's a gorgeous, profound, tender book about growing up and discovering that other humans are charming, obnoxious, enlightening and odd. I thinkStibbe is one of the all time greats
Funny, charming, odd-in-the-best-way and gorgeously uplifting! A delight from start to finish
'Nina Stibbe is an author of such effortless wit that she could turn a shopping list into a bestseller'
Loved it! I so love Lizzie. She is brave and kind and funny and totally original . . . I couldn't have liked it more (as I think Noel Coward said.)
A wonderfully funny novel . . . Nina Stibbe is still on sparkling form.
There'sa strong Sue Townsend/Alan Bennettflavour to it all . . .funny and sweet
An idiosyncratic, bittersweet coming-of-age tale that certainly justifies its title
