Pity Party is genius. It''s my perfect book. It''s full of light and darkness, it''s hilarious and heartbreaking. It reminds me of Rachel''s Holiday . It''s painfully funny and often painful in an emotional way, but always unbelievably good. This is the best book I''ve read in ages - and Daisy''s best book yet. I want everyone I know to read it so I can spend the next month talking about it. There are so many brilliantly funny moments, and so much to relate to. Katherine is such a likeable heroine - fully well-rounded and real and difficult and weird - but entirely loveable. I want her in my life full time. I really loved loved loved this book.>
