This book is beautiful. The writing is generous and kind and funny. I fell in love with the story and the characters, it made me feel hopeful, and I cried. Lia is such a talented, wonderful writer. -- Hayley Webster
A wonderfully written, funny and moving debut with an intriguing mystery at its heart. I laughed, cried and was completely swept away by Lizzy and Roman's story. Unforgettable. -- Claire Douglas
I thought it was both a funny and heart-warming story... Louis's is a bold, standout voice in the women's fiction genre and Somewhere Close To Happy deserves to be huge. -- Gillian McAllister
I loved it. I want more. It is just exquisitely written. So tender and packed with emotion but also great humour. It deserves to soar. -- Claire Allan
Honest and brave, Somewhere Close to Happy is a thought-provoking, beautifully observed study of love and real life, social issues and mental health -- Jill Mansell
Oh my god, I LOVED Somewhere Close to Happy. It made me cry several times but was also really funny. It is so incredibly good. -- Laura Marshall
Beautiful, raw, emotional, gripping. Roman and Lizzie will burrow into your hearts and never leave. -- Lynsey James
Lia is one of those rare writers who manage to break your heart and mend it all at once. Somewhere Close to Happy is a gem of a book - funny, touching and true -- Stacey Halls
In her protagonist Lizzie, Lia has created a character whose journey and emotional depth is a triumph. * Woman's Weekly Fiction Special *
You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll love this warm and tender story. -- Claire Frost * Fabulous Magazine, The Sun *
Lia Louis could give PS I Love You author Cecilia Ahern a run for her money with this funny and moving debut. * Sunday Post *
Told with warmth, this is an enjoyable, bittersweet page-turner. * Good Housekeeping *
