Reviews for Funny Valentine
'Funny Valentine gently subverts the outworn conventions of the chick-lit genre ... a warmly observed, big-hearted rom-com with some real humour and a page-turning plot.'
Observer 'Absorbing ... Stevie is an engaging Everywoman for the twenties/thirties generation ...there is a humanity in her take on relationships that ensures that FUNNY VALENTINE will be as popular as the rest of her oeuvre.'
Stephanie Merritt, Observer 'She is the queen of witty one-liners'
Guardian 'Terrific. Jenkins has hit on a winning formula ... mixing the intriguing world of celebrity with a good old-fashioned opposites attract romance. She's adept at creating endearing and comic characters, and spinning them into an entertaining yarn ... will hold you captive until the last page. A successful follow-up to Jenkins' debut best-seller Honeymoon, and fans will recognise the witty one-liners and fast-paced plot.'
