Reviews

Laura Wood
Smart, funny, audacious, and dazzlingly romantic. The Man of Her Dreams is an utterly ingenious romcom with the breathless page-turning quality of a thriller. I could not put it down. Sarra Manning just gets better and better.

Sweet and satisfying
Kay Ribeiro
Manning once again delivers a great female lead who is easy to relate to, flawed, and someone who you can't help rooting for

Sarra Manning writes with brio and Esme's slow self-realisation will bring a tear to your eye
Louise O'Neill
One giant swoon of a novel
Freya North
It's funny and sexy and rips along - yet important and deeper themes are tackled with great sensitivity. One of her best to date, I loved it
Sophie Irwin
Not what I was expecting, in the best way. I thought it was emotional and profound and so so hot, with an intriguing and surprising concept gorgeously delivered
Cressida McLaughlin
The funny, clever, deeply romantic, sinfully sexy, devastatingly heartbreaking, perfectly uplifting book of your dreams. Sarra Manning is the absolute Queen of funny, heartfelt, deeply emotional romances, and The Man of Her Dreams is romcom perfection
Cesca Major
A very swoony, sexy, warm read
Lucy Vine
I absolutely, completely, entirely and wholly adored The Man of Her Dreams. I didn't think Sarra's writing could get any better . . . but she has somehow surpassed herself. It manages to be romantic, relatable and heartfelt, while also being such an compelling, intriguing story - I couldn't put it down. I'll be thinking about this special book for a long time to come, and recommending it to everyone I know.

What a wonderful storyteller Sarra Manning is. All her characters feel so real and utterly lovable despite their best efforts. Lovely, lovely book.
