Recensione:
"Punchline fuelled, relentless humour...I don't think a woman is going to get much closer to the workings of a man's mind than this. Giggling several times a page with plenty of out-loud laughs is guaranteed. Is John O'Farrell funny? Very" (Daily Mirror)
"So funny because it rings true... Packed with painfully well-observed jokes" (The Times)
"A hilarious confessional narrative. This wickedly observed page-turner lets bachelor-nostalgia joyride to its absurd conclusion... Piquant and irreverently sardonic" (Literary Review)
"This is SO good... so insightful about men, women, love and parenthood that you read every page with a wince of recognition. Fab, fab, fab" (India Knight)
"Excellent... Things Can Only Get Better will make you laugh out loud" (Angus Deayton)
