Editorial Reviews

 • "This series is hilarious! It's funny, clever and guaranteed to brighten even the worst of days." —Wondrous Reads

 • "Anti-heroine Kelly Ann adds a touch of acid to the suger and her take on the world will be much appreciated by girls who don't want to confirm to the standard pattern — good for Kelly Ann!" —The Bookseller

 • "This has been the best chick lit I have read this year, and it even beats the Georgia Nicolson series for me, and that's saying something. There were really no faults with this, apart from how it wasn't long enough because I'd finished it in a day. Still, if you are looking for a flighty, summer read full of Kelly Ann's disastrous (but incredibly funny) adventures, pick this up!" —Booked Up!
