Four Letter Word Reviews

"Ridiculously enjoyable. A true pleasure" * Guardian *
"Funny, romantic, desperate, and sometimes plain dirty, these offerings are a delight to read" * Big Issue *
"They have brought wit and passion together in [this] totally original collection to unleash the romantic in all of us... May the stars shine on them for resurrecting this delicious, dying custom" * Daily Telegraph *
"This is a collection to dip into and savour... It works because so much of the pleasure in reading these letters is in the fact that they are not for our eyes" * Scotland on Sunday *
"From tales of rapture and repression to humorous exchanges between jilted lovers, the collection presents the reader with a kaleidoscope of ideas on how to approach the subject. . . . This is a seductive anthology which manages to appeal to the head as well as the heart" * Time Out *
