Reviews / Votes
I wish I had written this book . . . Withnail with girls -- CAITLIN MORAN Savagely funny, clever and wise. If it's not an instant cult classic I'm leaving the cult -- NATHAN FILER Hilarious, moving and poetic * * Glamour * * Animals is a riot. A kind of drunker, swearier Girls. I loved it -- MATT HAIG [A] wham-bam, helter-skelter account of female friendship, featuring two women in their early thirties whose voracious appetite for wine makes Dionysus look like a lightweight * * Independent * * A hilarious, madcap meditation on grown ups who are not quite ready to grow up. Her writing is as brilliantly inventive as her characters' transgressions -- HELEN WALSH Brutally funny and heartfelt. I loved it -- LAUREN BEUKES A devilish tale, spun in angelic prose -- JOHN NIVEN Stunningly brilliant -- JENN ASHWORTH Casually high on insight, mercifully low on decorum, Animals is vital, funny, poignant and true. If you're looking for talent, style and the deep wisdom of misbehaviour, read it -- GLEN DUNCANMore details
