Went to London, Took the Dog

Reviews

Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise Funny, warm, enlightening. The reading equivalent of getting the giggles in the back row of a school assembly So sharp and funny, blissfully gossipy, enviably well-observed — it’s like she has X-ray vision when it comes to human beings. I couldn’t stop reading it. I wish it were twice as long. I loved it I loved this book. Stibbe’s joyful midlife observations, her nods to the wonders and absurdities of the everyday, are so life-affirming. I started seeing pockets of humour in my own ordinary days - and actually felt bereft when I turned the last page Like spending an endless afternoon in the most sparkling company but without any pressure to sparkle back Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone else Nina Stibbe makes being funny look easy, but that's just because she's very, very good at it One of the great comic writers of our time Stibbe is an unassuming comic genius Breezy, sophisticated, hilarious, rude and aching with sweetness: Love, Nina might be the most charming book I've ever read A unique comic voice, endlessly funny. Nina makes me laugh so much No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly. No one does a better job of making the ordinary phenomenal Painfully funny, but also deeply moving. I never wanted it to end I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a diary so much since I read Adrian Mole for the first time One of the most hilarious, insightful, addictive writers working today What an utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend. I'm so sad it's over The true heir to Sue Townsend The funniest new writer to arrive in years Expand reviews
