Author:Sarah Bridge
Sarah Bridge is smart, successful . . . and single. As a newspaper journalist, she has a hectic day job, a busy social life and is perfectly happy with both. But something – or someone – is missing.
Embarking on a quest to find her soulmate, she tries everything: from speed-dating and wine-tasting to Scottish dancing and singles holidays, island-hopping and army assault courses to self-help books and fortune-telling. Whether climbing mountains in Morocco or swimming at midnight in the Caribbean, Sarah is on a mission to meet Mr Right. But will anything actually work? And how will she feel after putting herself, and her heart, out there?
First Catch Your Husband is an entertaining, touching and thought-provoking account of life on the front line of dating. It’s an inspiring tale for anyone who’s ever been, or wanted to be, in love.
[Baby-led weaning] makes life so much easier
—— The TimesI see many happy children, who choose their own food independently and eat at their own pace
—— Stefan Kleintjes, paediatric dieticianthe benefits are great
—— IndependentIt sounds like common sense: after all, would you want to be strapped into a high chair and force-fed spoon after spoon of bland vegetables? It's surely much more exciting to be able to exercise a bit of control over your diet
—— Guardian[Baby-led weaning] could radically simplify infant feeding
—— TelegraphYou have to love the girl, who cheerfully admits, "It's all true, I am that neurotic and fixated on sex"
—— EveThere's little doubt that by this summer, 'Abigail', a single thirtysomething woman who most definitely prefers sex to shopping, will be a media obsession
—— Louise France , ObserverHer stories about lovers past and present are always engaging and definitely sexy, written with thoughtful candour. Though the recollections are graphic, they're not solely designed for titillation. As such, they make very good erotic reading
—— Sugarclick.comThis book brought tears to my eyes several times... but despite the tragedy at the heart of the book, there are flashes of humour
—— Daisy Goodwin , The Sunday TimesDeeply moving
—— Angus McBride , GuardianA searingly honest book
—— Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan , Daily ExpressExtremely honest and candid
—— Lorraine Kelly , Sun(A) testament to the ferocity of maternal love
—— Allison Pearson , Daily TelegraphHeller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here
—— Sunday TimesLikeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them
