Consider Yourself Kissed

Consider Yourself Kissed is a smart literary love story and an absorbing family drama. Jessica Stanley follows her characters over the years as they make their way in the private, intricate, fragile world they create for themselves, and in the always-changing larger world. This is a deeply appealing and winning novel

Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of THE INTERESTINGS

Fabulous . . . It's clever, joyful, familiar and awkward, and so funny.

Nina Stibbe, author of LOVE, NINA

Sweet and tender

Pandora Sykes, author of HOW DO WE KNOW WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT?

I loved it, I loved them, I loved the Cazaletty interior details, I loved the social politics, I loved the actual politics, I loved the time span, I loved how complicated everyone was. I already know I will read it again . . . A beautiful romcom for grown-ups.

Ella Risbridger, author of MIDNIGHT CHICKEN

Beautifully written, wise, funny, moving. Deftly fuses the personal and the political. A proper grown-up love story.

Beth Morrey, author of SAVING MISSY

Utterly brilliant - so astonishingly clever, but with a core of love. It's generous, it's hopeful, it's one of the very best grown up love stories I have ever read. And wears its smartness so lightly, but it captures the strangeness of the past few years perfectly. I could not have adored it more.

Daisy Buchanan, author of INSATIABLE and CAREERING

Consider Yourself Kissed is ringingly original and just absurdly good. Jessica Stanley captures all the tenderness and brutality of young motherhood without dulling either, and the relationships and writing are so bracingly, deliciously fresh that I wish there were a fresher word than fresh. And that the book were 1000 pages longer.

Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS

I loved it. I was grinning like an idiot for the first forty pages, and crying for the next forty . . . It links emotional and political events so brilliantly and is incredibly funny too.

Emma Healey, million-copy bestselling author of ELIZABETH IS MISSING

Oh, how I loved and empathised with Coralie! Consider Yourself Kissed is funny, tender, authentic and incredibly moving
