‘The best book I've ever read . . . Every time I feel low, I turn to this book and it offers me so much comfort. It’s funny, real and the food descriptions always make me hungry! If you've ever gone through a messy break up, read this book. It’s amazing!’ NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Girl meets boy.
Girl loses boy.
Girl loses mind.

Sophie Klein walks into a bar one Friday night and her life changes. She meets James Stephens: charismatic, elusive, and with a hosiery model ex who casts a long, thin shadow over their burgeoning relationship. He’s clever, funny and shares her greatest pleasure in life – to eat and drink slightly too much and then have a little lie down. Sophie’s instinct tells her James is too good to be true – and he is.

Filled with love, heartbreak and joy,Pear-Shaped is smart, laugh-out-loud funny and above all relatable to women everywhere.
