Lizzie Jordan’s Secret Life

Very funny, hugely feel-good, and the perfect antidote for anyone who worries that the only career ladder they've achieved is a run in their tights

Manby's novels still shine out

Cross your legs, boys: in the best tradition of Kathy Lette, this is girl power at its most painfully funny

If you've ever shared a flat, been to a bad party or fallen in love with the wrong man, you'll find this book spot on

A funny first novel that's more realistic than Friends, cleaner than The Young Ones and not as frightening as Shallow Grave.
