Reviews

A great galloping joy of a book - funny, lyrical, fast paced, heart-warming - a delicious celebration of love and lifeRebecca Stott, author of In the Days of Rain
A truly lovely book - acutely observed and honest and melancholyJessie Greengrass, author of Sight
A tender, clever, sublimely crafted book that celebrates the struggles and triumphs of writing, love, and the desire for connectionKiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars
Stevens has an analytical eye and a wonderful taste for absurdity . . . All cake is to be both had and eaten in this celebratory, charming, thoroughly fictional book.Claire Harman, The Guardian
