A warm and engaging debut . . . [Robin Wilde is a] chatty, winning yet poignant heroine. * Sophie Kinsella *
I'd love Robin Wilde to be my new best friend. In fact, I feel like she's become it through these pages. Wonderfully written and full of humour that had me laughing along from start to finish. As a mum, as a woman, you can find yourself wondering whether it's only you that feels a certain way or does questionable things, but this book stilled my pondering mind. We're all in this together. Plodding through the murkiness, the judgement, the excruciating emptiness and insecurities of not being good enough . . . only when we know these are universal worries will we learn that all we actually need is a little self love. Funny, heartfelt, tender and empowering! I can't believe this is Louise's first book. I'm thoroughly excited to read more! -- Giovanna Fletcher
I adore this book. Louise Pentland writes with so much warmth, heart and honesty - Wilde Like Me is a gorgeous, witty, reassuring comfort read. I fell in love with Robin and her family before the end of the first page. If you're having a bad day, I think this book would instantly make it better. Pentland's exploration of mental health issues is refreshingly honest. If you've ever felt like the only person in the world who isn't perfect - and I sometimes do - this is what you need to read. A fabulous mix of escapism and relatability, this is a hug of a book. * Daisy Buchanan *
I'm smitten with this sweet and special story about love, life and motherhood. Reading Wilde Like Me feels just like sitting down for a (boozy) hot chocolate with your best friend and I love Robin Wilde. * Lindsey Kelk *
As lovable and candid as the woman herself * NYC Talon *
Louise has been the queen of the YouTube/ vlogger world pretty much since its inception, and Wilde Like Me is her first novel. Before you swipe left on another YouTube book let me assure you Wilde Like Me is hilarious, moving and extremely well written. I can highly recommend Louise's book and her YouTube channel, which does a pretty fine job of making the endlessly confusing to those over 15 world of YouTubers something can adults can enjoy, too. * Sunday Times Style *
This book is a winner * OK Magazine *

Wilde Like Me is a fun, light-hearted read. * Snazzy Books *
This is a fantastic read full of wit and warmth and it is hilarious. When I finished I felt empowered not only for robin but also for myself ... this lifted my spirits,my self belief and my sparkle. Great characters, fantastic storyline and addictive reading makes this a top hit for your summer read of 2017. * Charlene Jess *
Like the very best chick lit heroines, Robin Wilde is the woman next door all women can relate to and want to be friends with. She and daughter Lyla are the most adorable tag team, and Auntie Kath rounds off the ensemble perfectly. There's a lot of girl power in this novel, and although there's romance too, the love between mother and daughter and the love for oneself come out on top. Full of humour, warmth and conviction, this is a sparkling debut. * Chick Lit Club *
If you're looking for a light hearted, fulfilling read then Wilde Like Me is the perfect novel for you. This novel empowers you and shows you how you don't need a man. This novel shows you how everyone has their own struggles even if they are seemingly perfect. As soon as you pick up this novel you will fast become best friends with Robin...most importantly you'll realise that everyone needs a bit of Robin Wilde in them. * The Bookbag *
In addition to the well written humour, there are also plenty of emotional moments in the book. Louise writes humour brilliantly but she also writes emotion incredibly well too. A few times in the story my heart was in my throat and I was so drawn in by the strength of the story and by what was happening that I felt like I was there with the characters. The book definitely tricks you into thinking you're safe, then hits you in the feels when you don't expect it! * Luna May Blog *
a light hearted, feel-good read, it makes you happy! Louise takes you on a one year journey through Robins life and allows you to see how she grows as a mum, a friend, and most importantly a person. Robin really blooms.I would highly recommend reading this book. * Ginger Snapps Blog *
If any of you are considering buying this book I highly recommend it, I would say it's worth it just for the laughs, but also the story and the telling of the story are simply: Perfect! * Katie Snyder *
As I progressed further through the book I became more and more inspired by the blossoming character in front of me, I lost count of the number of times I gave Robin an imaginary fist-bump in my mind! The author's writing style was so natural, it was humorous but also incredibly insightful and it left me wanting more - I really hope to read more from Louise in the future. Wilde Like Me was a wonderfully honest tale of motherhood in all it's glory with a touch of inspiration thrown in for good measure. An absolute joy to read!' * V Family Fun *
'I loved how much I could relate to Robin as a mother, and with the bits that I feel I am crap at and often feel like the only one in the world who fails at certain little things. It was nice to discover I am actually not alone in those things, and it made me love Wilde Like Me more. I think Louise is a great writer and it is a lovely first book from her' * Birds and Lilies *
'This is a brilliant, page turner of a debut novel and one that I really hope Louise writes a follow up to because I for one can't wait to find out how Robin handles what ever this crazy life of Motherhood throws at her next.' * Beauty, Baby and Me *
'Robin is an independent woman who has found the answer to happiness in life really does lie inside yourself...This book is amusing at times and also very touching. I think it would appeal to many readers, but particularly to women who have had similar life experiences ... and there will be many.' * Forty and Fantastic *
'It is not just your average romantic story. It is lovely, funny and down to earth with topics that may be brushed over in other books, this one has it all.' * Ali Brille *
'It's such a grower of a book and utterly heartbreaking. I went into it with a bit of a sceptical mind and was bawling my eyes out by the end. It's about a teenage girl who wakes up on the same day every morning and has to figure out what's happening. Along the way she discovers what's important in life...' * Cardiff Mummy Says *
