GAME OVER
‘Compelling and full of that’s-so-true moments’
‘Dark, funny and upfront’
‘Another gorgeously girly read from Parks’
‘This savvy romance crams in tears, laughter, break-ups and make-ups – the perfect confection’
‘Set against an intoxicatingly romantic background, this is another beautifully-constructed multi-layered story with fine characterisation’
‘Excellent, well-honed and acutely observed’
‘It’s witty, it’s warm, it’s fun. With a capital F’
‘Compelling and guaranteed to keep you turning the pages till the end’
‘Parks depicts the nitty-gritty of relationships with authentic detail and there’s a hugely optimistic feel to the story that makes it a satisfying read’
‘Compulsively addictive and involved with sexual passion and bad decisions’
‘A touching look at infidelity, love, and all the crap that goes with it’
‘A modern fairy-tale in the classic sense of the word: a story of wanting what you can’t have, filled with perils and beasts, with a moralizing punch to the inevitably doe-eyed ending’
‘Down-to-earth and very, very funny’
‘Perfectly encapsulating the Zeitgeist… a very entertaining read’
