You can’t call this “chick lit” – it’s way better than that. Take a look.’ – AMAZON VINE VOICE REVIEWInternational Praise For The New Mrs D’Watch out Jane Green and Helen Fielding! There’s a new novelist from your side of the pond.’ – Annie McDonnell, Chick Lit Plus’The New Mrs D by Heather Hill had me laughing from page one. The book is so engaging that I stayed up all night to read it – I downloaded it at 10.30 pm and just kept reading. To say it grabbed me by the short and curlies is an understatement! I totally identified with Binnie and so “got it”. Heather’s light, chatty writing style is refreshingly “real” and she has all the hallmarks of a truly great story teller.This is a woman’s story. It’s hysterically funny, empowering and truthful.I hope we see more excellent stories from Heather Hill – anyone who can make me laugh in the opening paragraph and maintain it, has my undivided attention. She’s a gifted author.This book could so easily become a box office smash. I hope someone decides to make The New Mrs D into that film.’Claire Smith – 1st Assistant Director @ GFox Productions
