Campari for Breakfast Reviews

"I was really cross when I reached the final few words, because I didn't want it to end. It is brilliant. Heart-rending sorrow, unremitting hopefulness and joy, held together by the delicious comic malapropisms of a startlingly original teenage heroine. An utter delight" -- Tamsin Greig

"Campari for Breakfast is truly, charmingly, battily splendid... Utterly divine!" * Lucy Robinson, author of The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me *
"This charming debut about family secrets reads like a cross between I Capture the Castle and Love, Nina" -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * Bookseller *
