'Consistently funny and unerringly true, Millington's... comic novel is one of those reads that leaves you looking like an annoying mad person on the bus as you chuckle every five seconds ...

"Hilarious, I mean really, really funny. Mil has explored everything about relationships here in a moving, brilliantly observed and affectionate way without being nasty... it's so brilliantly, honestly funny, it makes having relationships seem like so much fun. A great read even if you've never had a relationship."
