It's not out until tomorrow! How did you manage to snaffle a copy?

Can we discuss it on this thread with spoilers once we've all read it? Oh goody, I have tomorrow afternoon off to take DD to the doctor!

The hardcover is priced at Amazon.it

And the paperback, while much cheaper, isn't out until March.

I loved everything she wrote until Wicked, that I pushed myself through. But gave up halfway through a jump cos... found it pretty unreadable.

Based on that, in your opinion, is it worth the price tag of the hardback cos it's one of her worth having NOW! Or more one worth sucking up the wait for and saving the hard earned cash ?

Really hoping you are going to tell me to buy it now. I would love to read Jilly back on form with RCB at the forefront no less.

Got my copy today. Not started yet. Hope it's better than the last two. I love Jilly so much.

It was in Waterstones on Monday half price, better than last two, not as good as first two and no spoilers yet //grin

Blimey. Old Eddie's behaviour in the old folks' home...I am Shock and especially because Taggie thinks it's funny!

I am quite enjoying it too, with exception of the bits about Etta, who is a total drip.

Yes, can we discuss spoilers yet?

BestIsWest · 09/09/2016 15:07

I can't stand Etta either, or Dora.

Okay, SPOILERS! Read on at your peril!


Somewhat pissed off that Taggie's boobs are described as famously beautiful, unspoiled by feeding children. Um, fuck off, Jilly!

Why is Taggie so stressed? Can't she just hire more carers/get someone to do the ironing/write Christmas cards? It just rings a bit false that Gala has to help out with it all. Also, Taggie hasn't done or said anything of substance yet and I'm 47% through. I want her to develop opinions on something that isn't just hating Helen. Why does Declan have to stop Patrick, Caitlin and Maud tapping her for money - I want Taggie to learn how to stand up for herself!
