What I didn’t know was how funny this book would be. It literally had me laughing out loud”
“I've never laughed harder reading a woman's fiction book in my life….This is a must read for 2020!”
“I have never laughed out loud at a book so much in my life. This book was hilarious!! It has been a while since I've enjoyed a book this much. It somehow handled the taboo of mothers talking about sex or being sexual beings and shut that argument right down with humour and feminist power. Stunning read!”
“I bloody loved this book! It is so funny and so realistic (raising teenagers) and brilliant. I love the author’s humour and I thought the premise was excellent. Excellent!”
“While the book has valuable things to say about the nature of marriage and motherhood, it really shines in its approach to sex (which is often discussed but tastefully depicted). The end result is heartwarming and affirming–a recognition that women have many responsibilities and being who they are is enough”
“I was smiling throughout this book. Hannah was an absolute hoot… I loved the side characters of Hannah's family. They loved her, encouraged her, and pushed her into being a bit braver and more confident.”
“Faking It is a funny, truthful look at life as a woman. I found myself reading parts to my husband and saying, this is exactly how I feel at times. I loved how the she found herself again and gave a very accurate view of a real sex life instead of the Hollywood version.”
“Faking It was absolutely hilarious. All of the relationships and characters felt so real… if you have kids, get weighed down by life and sometimes struggle to remember who you are beyond a mom and wife, this is the book for you. It's absolutely relatable and will have you laughing out loud.”
