dodgy"

Ha! Why?? Paperback and hardcover always come out at different times, I had down that it was out for release in June!

[Michael]

Hardcover should normally come out first (except Australia which is weird) but I've worked it out we just get it a month early

I got an early copy of this one, it's great but I can't put up my review until the embargo date, Aug 22nd.

How weird that when I commented on your post, the book cover changed......

[Maggie]

When you click on it Brenda, it is a different book, different author

It's an ongoing bug they are trying to fix Marianne and Maggie, but it's been going awhile! Annoying!! Glad you enjoyed it too Marianne, I'll be interested to see your review when you can put it up:)

No I haven't read it Marianne, but I just added it to my TBR because of your great review! I saw Toni Jordan in Sydney at the writers festival, and she was talking about this book coming out, so that's why I wondered what you thought:) So thank you!

[Marianne]

I have enjoyed all of Toni Jordan's books: Addition was really funny and throught-provoking as well.

Thanks so much for this list Amber! Thanks to it, I now know that Maureen McCarthy has a new book coming out and I'm a little excited. Haven't read anything of hers for years, but I have a soft spot for the author. It was her book When You Wake and Find Me Gone that got me to love books as a teen :)
