This review is from: Tenterhooks (Paperback)

i've fallen in love with it. I haven't even finished the book yet but it's been amazing to read. It's filled with short stories about all girls, females, women. amazing. all different stories yet alike. I can't believe it's all been written by the same author. Her stories are beautifully told in such a short space of time. All stories are set in England. I don't want it to finish. I'm even going to try and find her other books.
