Review
Praise for The Jane Austen Marriage Manual :'This delightful and witty book contains a meaningful message. A very satisfying read.' * Katie Fforde, author of Summer of Love and Recipe for Love *'This wonderfully light romantic comedy reads like a cross between Pride and Prejudice and The Devil Wears Prada - with a healthy hint of Ugly Betty's humour... Fast-paced, cinematic and indulgent, this is the ultimate Martini-fuelled beach read' * Red *'Kim Izzo has written a humorous and engaging modern day love story. "Kate Shaw" is a romantic who will inspire a new generation, whether they're looking for love, or have already found it.' * Nia Vardalos, screenwriter and actress, My Big Fat Greek Wedding *Clara is a wonderful character and narrator... The film noir references made this novel great and original. * The Book Bag *
