"Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise" --Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry "A unique comic voice, endlessly funny. Nina makes me laugh so much" --David Nicholls "No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly. No one does a better job of making the ordinary phenomenal" --Katherine Heiny, author of Early Morning Riser "Painfully funny, but also deeply moving. I never wanted it to end" --Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss "What an utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend. I'm so sad it's over" --Marian Keyes "So sharp and funny, blissfully gossipy, enviably well-observed -- it's like she has X-ray vision when it comes to human beings. I couldn't stop reading it. I wish it were twice as long. I loved it" --India Knight "I don't think I've enjoyed a diary so much since I read Adrian Mole for the first time" --Daisy Buchanan "Funny, warm, enlightening.


The reading equivalent of getting the giggles in the back row of a school assembly" --Santham Sanghera, author of Empireland "I loved this book. Stibbe's joyful midlife observations, her nods to the wonders and absurdities of the everyday, are so life-affirming. I started seeing pockets of humour in my own ordinary days - and actually felt bereft when I turned the last page" --Lucy Atkins, author of Magpie Lane "Stibbe turns out more perfect, sharp, unique sentences than anyone else" --Caitlin Moran "One of the most hilarious, insightful, addictive writers working today" --Jenny Colgan "Like spending an endless afternoon in the most sparkling company but without any pressure to sparkle back" --Frank Cottrell-Boyce "Nina Stibbe makes being funny look easy, but that's just because she's very, very good at it" --Clare Chambers "One of the great comic writers of our time" -- Irish Times "Stibbe is an unassuming comic genius" -- Independent "Breezy, sophisticated, hilarious, rude and aching with sweetness: Love, Nina might be the most charming book I've ever read" --Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette "The funniest new writer to arrive in years" --Andrew O'Hagan.
