Review:

'Fiona Neill's comic novel is an investigation into modern marriage ... Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before' Vogue 'A comical look at the trials and tribulations of modern marriage' Daily Express 'This is a high-end chick lit at its best: so well-written, with such believable and engaging characters, it was an absolute joy to read' Daily Mail 'I love it when a new title comes out from an author I've bonded with. The enjoyment I derived from Fiona Neill's The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy inspired me to pick up her latest, Friends, Lovers and Other Indiscretions ... in the second half the tale crescendos to a heart-racing finale. Her turn of phrase is clever and perceptive ... this book was my devoted pal. Can't wait for the next one!' 5 stars, Clare Nasir, Now 'If, like us, you fancy a change from the tried-and-tested tales of sweeping love affairs and tanned torsos, this novel from the author of The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy is most certainly worth a read... You'll be desperate to know who's after who, who's had who and who's actually telling the truth. Without any frills or need for tall tales, Fiona's cracking new novel gives the feeling that it's all real enough to be happening right under your own nose in your own circle of friends' 4 stars, Heat 'Neill had a huge hit with The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy, her hilarious take on modern motherhood. This is every bit as funny, and packed with observations of wince-making accuracy... Superb entertainment' Times 'Spiky wit and intelligence [in a] tale of six disaffected late thirtysomething friends...Neill's reflections on parenthood will induce wry winces of recognition, although even the footloose and fancy-free will savour this hilarious romp through the complications of relationships and friendships' Easy Living
