Miranda Dickinson Press Reviews
Authonomy reader reviews: 'This is so well written, such an enjoyable read. The characters are all distinctive, leaping right off the page.
'This is warm, sweet and frothy as a cappuccino with just enough of the bitter side of life coming through. I love the juxtaposition of the English rose amidst bright, brittle New Yorkers - each of your characters is clearly established and distinctly voiced.'
'This book is fabulous. Your writing style is wonderful and you have vivid characters that a reader can really fall in love with.'
'Miranda - put succinctly, your writing SPARKLES.''
