Praise for TWO FOR JOY
Well written, believable characters and a good plot. I am a big fan of this writer!
Charming . . . warm, confidently written, very addictive . . . I thoroughly enjoyed it
I was drawn into these characters' lives instantly and I fell in love with Julia . . . The writing was funny and sharp and I found myself storming through this book as each chapter made me want to keep reading . . . it was really impressive and I cannot wait to see what is next from Helen!
This story about temptation and the lure of a different existence offers an interesting, often thought-provoking, take on the challenges of relationships and family life.
This was brilliant, and I really did enjoy every page, I didn't want to put it down! Chandler is an exciting new voice in women's fiction, and this debut makes me very excited for what else she has to come. I hope you enjoy TWO FOR JOY as much as I did, it was fantastic!
A really impressive debut. The writing keeps you on edge and has you wanting to read more and more and more! Helen is definitely an author to watch out for.
An enjoyable romantic comedy with some entertaining twists.
A page-turner that keeps you gripped until the end.
A second novel from an author whom I believe is a star of the future . . . a most satisfying read.
This is a pure delight . . . beautifully handled with some unexpected, humorous and emotional moments, all thrown into a fast-moving plot. I loved it.
This feels like grown up chick-lit, dealing with substantial concepts, believable, fallible characters and shot through with emotionally intelligent analysis of three very different marriages . . . Brilliantly written.
