—— Sarah Standing, journalistThis book removes the fog and is a really sensible and practical summary of parenting techniques. It should be part of the national curriculum.
—— Anya Hindmarch, designerThis practical, advice-packed book is just the ticket…Whether you’re a new parent, a mum-to-be or a seasoned pro, this book should have a place on your shelves.
—— Glamour MagazineThis has to be one of THE best parenting books I have ever read. It covers toddlers to teenagers, light hearted but yet deadly serious and there really is something for every parent to relate to! It was so addictive and appropriate for me with three girls, that I had recommended it to more than 20 people when I was only a quarter of the way through it! All parents should read it.
—— MumKnowsBest.comSimple, accessible tools which cover everything from getting your child to clean his teeth to picky eaters and bullying.
—— Mail on Sunday, YOU MagazineReading this book is like having a chat with your friends or with other mums at the crèche or the school gate.
—— Mothers and BabiesA no-nonsense guide to running a family – whatever your personality.
—— Easy LivingHeller's family memoir brims with warm reflections right from the opening chapters... An affectionate family scrapbook crafted with a bittersweet blend of humor and pathos
—— Kirkus ReviewsErica Heller to me is like a Carrie Fisher on the East Coast. She is as authentic as they come
—— Richard Lewis, comedian, actor, authorErica Heller has a story to tell and I for one am eager to see it in print. I think this is going to be one hell(er) of a memoir
—— Christopher Buckley, author of Losing Mum and PupThe New York of the period leaps off the page
—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentHeller'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
—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
