Guardian 'A tremendously exciting voice: timely, intelligent and buzzing with comedic charm . . . Pascoe has something to say and a thoroughly engaging way of saying it.'

WHO will the handsome Wickham seduce next? HOW will the Bennet sisters live with no income or home after their father dies? WILL anyone ever mention there's a war on? The Bennet family has more daughters than income and more income than sense. When an eligible bachelor moves to the neighbourhood Mrs Bennet froths over with frenzied attempts to get her daughters married at any cost - well not *cost*, they haven't any money, but no man is too rude, no soldier too untrustworthy, no cousin too annoying to be below consideration. Beautiful Jane likes Bingley but has no way of letting him know. Lizzy hates Darcy and doesn't mind who knows it. Lydia and Kitty like soldiers and red jackets and the soldiers who are wearing them. Mary likes stationery.

EMMA JANE UNSWORTH 'Hilarious and heartbreaking at every sentence.' CARIAD LLOYD 'Quietly profound and laughing-in-public funny.' CAITLIN MORAN 'A tragicomic masterpiece.'

GUARDIAN 'A tremendously exciting voice.' THE TIMES 'An incredible read.' AISLING BEA 'I loved every page.' NATHAN FILER "I USED TO THINK MY MUM COULD SEE ME THROUGH THE CAT" Deep in Essex and her own thoughts, Sophie had a feeling something was going to happen and then it did. Chris has entered the pub and re-entered her life after Sophie had finally stopped thinking about him and regretting what she'd done. Sophie has a chance at creating a new ending and paying off her emotional debts (if not her financial ones). All she has to do is act exactly like a normal, well-adjusted person and not say any of her inner monologue out loud. If she can suppress her light paranoia, pornographic visualisations and pathological lying maybe she'll even end up getting the guy she wants? Then she could dump her boyfriend Ian and try to enjoy Christmas. What readers are saying: 'Acutely and profoundly observed.' 'Brilliantly relatable and painfully honest.' 'A book that will make you laugh, think, and feel a little bit better about being yourself.' 'A funny, insightful and unusual perspective on growing into yourself.' 'This is one of the best novels I've read in a long time.'
