?It made me cry and laugh and rage...A really important, timely book. Sheer brilliance.? ?Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List ?Thoughtful, smart and painfully true.? ?Cosmopolitan UK He said he was looking for a ?partner in crime,? which everyone knows is shorthand for ?a woman who isn't real.? April is kind, pretty and relatively normal?yet she can't seem to get past date five. Every time she thinks she's found someone to trust, they reveal themselves to be awful, leaving her heartbroken. And angry. Until she realizes that men aren't looking for real women?they're looking for Gretel. Gretel is perfect?beautiful but low-maintenance, sweet but never clingy, sexy but not too easy. She's your regular, everyday Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girl-Next-Door with no problems. When April starts pretending to be Gretel, dating becomes much more fun?especially once she reels in the unsuspecting Joshua. Finally, April is the one in control. It's refreshing. Exhilarating, even. But as she and Joshua grow closer, and the pressure of keeping her painful past a secret begins to build, how long will she be able to keep on pretending? ?The most freeing, reassuring book on dating after #MeToo I've read. Perceptive. Hilarious. Brilliant.? ?Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop

Rezensionen
MAGNIFICENT. The whole sorry mess of gender and sexual politics wrapped up in a compelling story told by an ADORABLE heroine. I feel educated and empowered from reading it. Brutally honest and righteously angry but still HUGELY enjoyable and engaging. I BOW DOWN! Marian Keyes
