This was really quite hilarious - author must be a fucking legend.

Thank you to Laurence King Publishing for an advanced finished copy of this book. Not rating because it didn’t have any real literary value, but it was certainly a fun read that had me giggling the whole way through

This was so funny, my partner and I were laughing out loud at nearly all of them. The only annoying thing is that there are loads of spelling and grammar mistakes where words are put together and words and spelt wrong and it kind of took the fun out of some of them as I had to work hard to try to understand what was going on.

[Katie Rankine]

Funny quick read. Some of the icks were a lot funnier and relatable than others

Hilarious

[Hannah Williams]

This book is a very entertaining read! You just have to pray that you don't recognise anything your partner does in its pages, though...

Cute little book. I have 9 of the icks in the book and my other 2 icks didn't make the cut. We even played two of the games in the back.

Forgot about reading this one in January so it’s going on the list because I’m desperately behind on my reading goal…

[Marianne Trimble]

Disclaimer: I may have read this in February and it may not be a typical book, but it’s going to count towards my reading goal 🆗

[Jennifer-Lynn Christie]

Some of these I agree with
Other ones I am like... no.
