A cheerful optimistic belly-laugh broadside at prejudice and a wonderful testament to the power of “being funny”, I love Francesca Martinez * Steve Coogan *
A wonderful read! Warm, funny and unforgettable * Jonathan Ross *
A very, very important [book] ... I can’t think of a work that has so brilliantly expressed how a person disabled from birth sees herself -- Dominic Lawson * The Sunday Times *
As entertaining as it is moving ... this book is a wonderful, funny, warm coming-of-age memoir about finding your own path in life. Long may she wobble. Five stars. * Viv Groskop, The Telegraph *
