A real gem! - Quirky, nostalgic & laugh-out-loud.

Evie is the perfect heroine intelligent, hilarious & vibrant! The rest of the cast are well-drawn out, strong women if not all likable (Christine & Vera). The larger than life Mrs. Swithenbank was a brilliant character.

The writing is spot on, the characters leap off the page, the plot is warm and witty. A fabulously joy-filled debut! - I hope there more Evie adventures in the pipeline. Regardless I certainly can't wait for Taylor's next novel.

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Scribner for sending me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
