Reviews

Packed with warmth, wit and unforgettable characters, this is an utterly joyous read and fans of Cooper will doubtless find it a complete delight

—— DAILY EXPRESS

Jilly is about bringing joy into your life: daft, silly, boozy joy . . . There is no one else like Cooper.

—— GUARDIAN

I couldn’t have loved this delightful doorstep of a read any more

—— DAILY MAIL

Reading Mount! was pure, unadulterated joy and makes me want to move to Rutshire, instantly. Jilly Cooper is on top, effervescent form, and I loved every moment

—— Sophie Kinsella

Racier than ever, totally un-put-downable and tremendous fun. What a treat!

—— Catherine Alliott

I loved it. Witty and wonderful as always

—— Trisha Ashley

If there were a Good Sex Award, the prize would surely go to Jilly Cooper. Her descriptions of sex are glorious…this is why Cooper’s fans adore her – and it is why Mount! will most likely gallop to the top of the bestseller lists, a most deserving winner.

—— The i

This tale of rivalries, sabotage - and, of course, sex - will have Cooper's army of fans galloping to the finish line

—— Sunday Mirror

It's Cooper doing what she does best . . . it's a thoroughly enjoyable roll in the hay

—— The Times

You'll gallop through this brilliant, saucy romp

—— Fabulous Magazine

I devoured Mount! . . . Rupert Campbell-Black [is] older, still delicious, still obsessed with sex (human and horse)

—— Tatler

This endlessly fun humdinger of a novel is an absolute riot

—— Heat

I was roaring with laughter from the very first page

—— Sunday Express

A big, yummy brick of a book packed with horses, glamour, comedy and lashings of luxury sex. Divine

—— Saga

Warm, witty and wise, and I couldn't have loved it more.

—— Sara Lawrence , Daily Mail

Witty, frank and candid, this book takes the reader on a hilarious tour through the world of modern dating

—— Heat

Frank, refreshing...such a satisfying read

—— Stylist

Emma Straub is consistently excellent

—— Book Riot

Emma Straub is quickly making a name for herself as an author who can deftly toe the line between literary and popular writing-her books are easy to breeze through, but there's also food for thought for the discerning reader

—— Bookpage

Praise for The Vacationers

—— -

Now this is what I call good holiday reading. Straub writes beautifully and amusingly . . . hard to beat for sheer charm and gentle wit

—— Daily Mail

Emma Straub puts the fun back in dysfunction

—— San Francisco Chronicle

There's nothing more addictive than a darkly funny dysfunctional domestic drama. Straub's novel-set during a fraught family vacation in Mallorca-is pretty much the perfect beach read

—— Entertainment Weekly

Charming and absorbing, this is a novel that demands to be read in long, satisfying gulps

—— Maggie Shipstead, author of , Seating Arrangements

Emma Straub is a magician, full of brilliance and surprise

—— Lorrie Moore, author of , Bark

A gorgeous and witty storyteller

—— Elizabeth Gilbert, author of , Eat, Pray Love

Witty and big-hearted . . . leaves you smiling for days

—— Maria Semple, author of , Where’d You Go, Bernadette

For those unable to jet off to a Spanish island this summer, reading The Vacationers may be the next-best thing. . . . [A] gorgeously written novel . . . When I turned the last page, I felt as I often do when a vacation is over: grateful for the trip and mourning its end

—— The New York Times Book Review

Delicious . . . richly riveting . . . The Vacationers offers all the delights of a fluffy, read-it-with-sunglasses-on-the-beach read, made substantial by the exceptional wit, insight, intelligence and talents of its author

—— People (four stars)

I loved The Vacationers; funny and poignant and beautifully observed

—— Jojo Moyes, author of , Me Before You

Straub's novel is cast from the same mould as the likes of Liza Klaussmann's Tigers in Red Weather and Maggie Shipstead's Seating Arrangements . . . The Vacationers is a holiday read in every way with a gently witty narrative that slips down as easily as a beachside cocktail

—— Independent

Emma Straub is a gorgeous and witty storyteller

—— Elizabeth Gilbert

Intimate, epic, beautifully observed

—— Jennifer Egan

Witty and big-hearted ... leaves you smiling for days

—— Maria Semple

Charming and absorbing

—— Maggie Shipstead

Funny, poignant and beautifully observed

—— Jojo Moyes
