Reviews
Gripping, hilarious and tender, this is, without doubt, one of the books of the year
The novel brilliantly captures parent-child relations in the raw and the emotions that even the most experienced social worker can't tame
An amusing and unsettling story
This is family life at its most believable: warm and messy, bored and raging. WHAT I DID is every parent's nightmare, but will make you burst out laughing too. I loved it.
I loved it! Staggeringly good. Terrifyingly good
Hugely impressive, gripping, funny and thought provoking
Excellent . . . Dark but uplifting
[A] fine, challenging novel
