Daisy Buchanan

Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful

What a GORGEOUS book! Such a charming, warm, optimistic read, exactly what I CRAVE. Just beautiful. An inspired premise, beautifully executed.

Riotously funny, achingly tender... a book to treat yourself to

Truly fresh, wildly funny and completely charming... some of the most perceptive writing on motherhood I’ve ever read. I adored it

Funny, moving, and wonderfully tender. All Grown Up is a joyful reminder that growing up never really ends.

An absolute delight - impossibly funny, astute, candid and moving - I think Louisa M Alcott would be blown away by Daisy Buchanan's wonderful reimagining of the March sisters. And what a treat to spend time with their brilliant, battle-wearing and achingly human mother. A standout novel.

Gorgeous from the first page to the last. Emotional, funny & chaotic with brilliant big-hearted & flawed characters all trying to grow up.

Wonderful, complex, bruising, rewarding ... I snaffled it like cake on a rainy day

This was simply joyful . . . Full of heart, and the knottier realities of motherhood - with moments of such emotional heft - this is a warm hug of a novel that is going to make thousands of people both happy and tearful (in the best way).

The only bad thing about All Grown Up is that it has to end. Lots of books are described as comforting but this book brought me genuine, genuine comfort: the perfect blend of familiar and the contemporary. It takes one hell of a writer to take on Little Women, but Daisy is one hell of a writer.

After thirty long years, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves … or so she thinks. 
 
Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher. 
 
Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go. 
 
But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too.
