APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Judging by the fresh and funny first pages of How Do You Like Me Now?, we would never have guessed this was Holly Bourne’s debut novel for adults. On paper (and Instagram), Tori Bailey’s life looks perfect, but something just doesn’t feel right. Among her witty monologues and acerbic dialogue, there are cringe-inducing Facebook posts from Tori’s friends that you’ll no doubt recognise from your own timeline. With echoes of Bridget Jones’s Diary, the book offers a fresh satirical perspective on the life of a 30-something, sprinkling in the heightened FOMO of our social media-obsessed age. We're delighted that the author of such witty teen fiction as Am I Normal Yet? has branched out to a new demographic!
Customer Reviews
Bloody amazing.
Hilarious, well written and so on point. Must read.
Good read
I hoped the book would feature the main character as a single lady for most of it but it doesn’t. If you’re in a bad relationship then perhaps you should give it a read! Well written and finished it in a few days, good story with detail and a refreshing truth throughout. personally a bit unreliable to moi but I would defo recommend this to friends.
So good
Tells it like it is, I’d didn’t want the book to end.... she just hits the nail on the head again and again and it’s just to true. We need more of this!
