Praise for Bernadette Strachan...
'It's official: the drought of fresh new chick-lit is over…the sparkling language and hilarious scenes should keep you enthralled from the very first page'
Heat
'No-nonsense sharp, dry wit with larger then life characters…a mosaic of sparkling fun'
Woman
'The Reluctant Landlady is a rare gem: commercial women’s fiction it may be but it’s certainly not a hot-pink Jones clone. Strachan is the freshest and funniest writer to enter this genre since Lisa Jewell wrote Ralph’s Party and this is full of laugh out loud moments'
The Bookseller
'Fresh, funny and full of romance'
Company
'touching examination of the bonds that unite women with women and women with men, with moments of hilarity. The scenes Involving the commune's pet pig, Dave, lying resplendent in his primped and perfumed sty, are worh the cover price in themselves.'
The Guardian on WHY DO WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH MEN?

'Warm, funny and witty How To Lose a Husband and Gain a Life is everything you want from a good book and in Ruby Gallagher presents you with the kind of lead character you'll wish you could make your new best friend!'
Mike Gayle on HOW TO LOSE A HUSBAND AND GAIN A LIFE
'Bernadette is so funny, upbeat and heart-warming that her books are a perfect antidote to all this current gloom. This one was a treat, with a host of glorious characters, a celebration of female friendship and love to be found in the most unexpected dusty corners of life. A plump up cushion, curl up and cheer up book. I always love what Bernadette does. I hope HTLAHAGAL gains her many thousands of new fans and a bestseller slot'

'Bernadette's novel is so funny, so sharp and such a great read'
Jenny Colgan on HOW TO LOSE A HUSBAND AND GAIN A LIFE
'This novel is kooky but great fun. Strachan has a talent for inventing larger-than-life characters with intriguing idiosyncrasies, which stops her novels becoming predictable chick-lit.'
The Sun on LITTLE WHITE LIES
'Strachan now on her fourth novel is a genuinely funny writer and packs the book with good one-liners. The feel-good ending might be improbable, but anyone who has ever been unlucky in love would be rooting for nothing less for Billie.'
