Girlfriend 44
Reviews
The dialogue in this spot-on novel is sharp and funny.
I howled with laughter...lively, witty and upbeat.
[Barrowcliffe] is an assured stylist with a lively, wordy wit.
It’s marvellous... This stunning debut is witty, genuinely funny, frequently coarse and so pacy you just can’t put it down.
Hilarious debut novel in the tradition of Men Behaving Badly.
Funny, sharp and so realistic you think you know all the characters.
A hilarious read.
Squirmily funny stuff.
The book’s dialogue is fast-paced and cheeky and never loses steam, and the engrossing climax is a jaw-dropper.
Barrowcliffe is an exceptional writer, but the genius of his work is his apparent realization that if he combined every prejudice women have about men and injected them into the genes of Harry and Gerrard, he would have the makings of a bestseller – and he is probably correct... Read it and weep.
Barrowcliffe can be funny, and oftentimes insightful and smart.
Mark Barrowcliffe’s hilariously caustic novel offers proof that your worst fears about single men are right on target.
Irreverent, but funny... Barrowcliffe’s writing is engaging, and chock-full of clever observations...daring to say out loud what the rest of us think about love...rival the best-selling dating manual...if you are looking to keep things light and enjoy a few laughs, GIRLFRIEND 44 is the literary equivalent of a great one-night stand.
Hilarious...Harry’s romantic misadventures are delightfully zany, and Barrowcliffe’s writing (especially his snappy dialogue) is sidesplitting; I annoyed my husband all week reading my favourite passages aloud.
A darkly amusing look at the soccer, lager and 'born-again-sex-ism' set.
A funny but dark look inside the hearts of modern men... Barrowcliffe’s story is genuinely suspenseful.
Laugh-out-loud funny.
