Critics Review
Good bedtime reading if you’re pissed off with the prevailing portrayal of middle-aged women. And it’s funny and direct with a light touch. You don’t have to read it in bed though. Rage away! * JO BRAND *
Like Lucy herself, her hilarious book brims with glee and laser-sharp observation * MEL GIEDROYC *
Lucy Porter is one of our funniest people. She doesn’t just get sh*t done, she’ll make you cry with laughter while she does it. A brilliant read * CARIAD LLOYD *
Lucy is one of the most consistently brilliant and hilarious comics of our generation. And I’m not just saying that because she’s been my dearest friend for over seventy years * SARAH KENDALL *
