Reseñas de la Crítica

Wonderful . . . compassionate and unpredictable (Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project)

Oh how I loved this book [...] complex, imperfect, totally loveable and completely unforgettable (Clare Pooley)

I loved this original, at times painful but truly thought-provoking book. A triumph (Sunday Times bestselling author Katie Fforde)

Sometimes a book comes along and really does make you think... This engaging read is both heart-breaking and full of hope

Touching, beautifully compassionate and warm; this is a lovely book, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes funny. Perfect to curl up with and well worth a read (Dinah Jefferies)

Clever and engaging read. Heartbreaking and hopeful, this book is a keeper

Saturdays at Noon is one of those rare books that make you see the world in a different way... This is a satisfying, big-hearted book and a truly accomplished debut for Rachel Marks

A sweet tale about second chances. Moving

It's a beautiful love story, but not the one that you'd expect. Wonderful, hopeful and insightful. This book is an absolute gem and you'll find yourself willing Emily to get her happy ending (Asia Mackay)

A heartbreaking, funny and emotive read

So many bust out loud laughs and a great story!

It took a while for me to get going with the story but once I did the laugh out loud moments had me hooked. Life as it really happens.
I'm looking forward to her next book.

Beautiful story addressing real life challenges

Super sweet story that addresses some important real-life issues including autism, drinking, childhood abuse, marriage, family dynamics, and being real with oneself. Only negative is that I had to skip past the chapters with Alfie talking, couldn't stand his voice; that very well may be a me problem. Overall, loved it.

Excellent book

I listened to this in one day. The characters are human and fractured and loveable! The messages are strong! I loved this book. I laughed and cried and rooted for every character.
