Reviews

Pitch perfect vintage comedy
*Guardian*

Lives up to its title
*Sunday Times*

My friends, you will UTTERLY ADORE Nina Stibbe's latest novel Reasons To Be Cheerful . . .It is SO SO funny, charming, odd-in-the-best-way and gorgeously uplifting! A delight from start to finish
*Marian Keyes*

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

So dense with amusing detail that I thought about holding the book upside down to see if any extra funny bits might spill from the creases between the page
*New York Times*

I read all of Reasons To Be Cheerful last night in one GLORIOUS gulp and it's SUCH a joy - Nina Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone else in the game. It just CARTWHEELS
*Caitlin Moran*

If you loved Adrian Mole you'll adore Lizzie Vogel . . . quirky and witty, it also packs an emotional punch
*Sun*

Comedy gold . . . Reasons To Be Cheerful is just the read you need right now, seamlessly weaving together the big themes of life with charm and warmth
*Stylist*

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 Times*

The true heir to Sue Townsend
*Caitlin Moran*
