‘A champion first novel . . . what makes it such a pleasure to read is its variety of tone: flip, flirtatious, serious, mocking and moving . . . get hold of a copy of this book’ Observer
‘A terrific achievement . . . The camp scenes are as moving and funny as the original M*A*S*H; she sends up the self-important “mediacracy” with an insider’s wit, and it’s written at a romping pace with a cliff-hanger finish’ Cosmopolitan
‘Sharp, gutsy and refreshing’ Independent
‘Thoughtful, ironic and completely gripping’ Harry Enfield
‘A brilliantly funny satire’ Time Out
