Review: The Reader: NZ Booksellers Blog: "The author has gently moulded the strands of the story together with humour and it moves along at a brisk pace with some very satisfactory outcomes from the twists and turns she created among the characters.
Like any good book there is sorrow as well as celebration, but friendship and love is an important thread entwined throughout the pages and anyone who likes an inspiring family drama of modern living will find this a good read and like me, they will find the vivid descriptions around Queenstown to be captivating. The underlining theme highlights strength, reliance and hope while looking to the future."
Review: Wardini Books Death Actually is a light and lovely read; a love story with a healthy dose of comedy, an engaging cast and multiple plot lines. Itβs full of life (and death) and infiltrated my emotions enough to make me cry at the end. Definitely worth a read."

"As well as being both sad and funny, this is also an inspirational tale of making the best out of life before it's too late." - literatureloveuk
