Utterly self-assured, so, so, so honest and downright brave. Wilde About the Girl is funny, sweet, honest and full of love. Every page is packed with hard-earned wisdom, joy and truth, I loved - truly loved - it. Louise's characters are so real, I felt as though I was sat at the kitchen table, enjoying a mug of (spiked) hot chocolate with Robin, Lacey and Auntie Kath, laughing and crying along with them * Lindsey Kelk *
Hilariously funny with depth and emotion, it's a delightful read * Heat *
A gorgeous read. Beautifully poignant and touching. I loved it!
