Wonderful. An epic, enduring love story that is so funny, tender and warm. I loved everything about it.
Cressida McLaughlin
Sarra Manning is the queen of London-set romance. London, With Love is the sort of book that sweeps you off your feet and wins your heart with laughter, tears and the whole cavalcade of city life. Utterly romantic, totally recognisable and with as much spirit as the city itself, this is an unforgettable love story
Jane Casey
Reading London, with Love reminded me why Sarra Manning is one of my favourite writers. It's wonderful - romantic, sexy, moving, and impossible to put down.
Louise O'Neill
This is already one of my books of the year! . . . A VERY special book - a decades-long 'near miss' love story, it gave me One Day vibes. It's GORGEOUS, real, believable and BEAUTIFUL
Marian Keyes
Brimful of longing, tenderness and the pain of missed chances, this book could soften the stoniest heart
Kate Riordan
London, With Love is just all kinds of glorious, one minute moving me to tears, the next making me snort with laughter. I'm going to be pressing it into the hands of all my friends and family
Jenny Ashcroft
Immersive, razor sharp and full of tenderness. Manning explores love in many forms - not least her obvious affection for the city in which this romance unfolds. But it is her witty rendering of life in the 90s that I really fell for! I was transported!
Claire McGlasson
A book to treasure - brilliantly crafted with characters that feel like lifelong friends. Beautiful, romantic, real, poignant, nostalgic and completely compelling. I love this book with all my heart.
Alex Brown
Sarra Manning's stunning, beautifully written book is not just a love letter to London, but a love letter to what really matters in life: each other. Funny, smart and gorgeously romantic, London, With Love is the perfect read to make you smile on the rainiest of days
Katy Birchall
A wonderful rom-com - such a glorious treat
Harriet Evans
The funny, clever, deeply romantic, sinfully sexy, devastatingly heartbreaking, perfectly uplifting book of your dreams. Sarra Manning is the absolute Queen of funny, heartfelt, deeply emotional romances, and The Man of Her Dreams is romcom perfection
Cressida McLaughlin
A very swoony, sexy, warm read
Cesca Major
I absolutely, completely, entirely and wholly adored The Man of Her Dreams. I didn't think Sarra's writing could get any better . . . but she has somehow surpassed herself. It manages to be romantic, relatable and heartfelt, while also being such an compelling, intriguing story - I couldn't put it down. I'll be thinking about this special book for a long time to come, and recommending it to everyone I know.
Lucy Vine
Romantic, funny, sweet and sexy
Marian Keyes
What a wonderful storyteller Sarra Manning is. All her characters feel so real and utterly lovable despite their best efforts. Lovely, lovely book.
Jane Casey
Smart, funny, audacious, and dazzlingly romantic. The Man of Her Dreams is an utterly ingenious romcom with the breathless page-turning quality of a thriller. I could not put it down. Sarra Manning just gets better and better.

One giant swoon of a novel

It's funny and sexy and rips along - yet important and deeper themes are tackled with great sensitivity. One of her best to date, I loved it

Not what I was expecting, in the best way. I thought it was emotional and profound and so so hot, with an intriguing and surprising concept gorgeously delivered
