Praise for Love You Madly

An engrossing read – flowing and funny and tender, chatty and lyrical. It casts a very shrewd eye on young love, social foibles, and getting through a certain time of life. It brought back a million memories.
Henrietta Rose-Innes

A novel that is bursting with colour, charm, humour and heart. Nostalgic and immediate, a heady evocation of young adulthood in the nineties.
Anna Hug

The characters carry the story along in walloping style. I found myself laughing with them (often) and teary with them too (often). I’m so sad that I had to turn that last page.
Maire Fisher

The prose is funny, heartbreaking and luminous. It gives you fizzing in the veins and makes you want to be in love. I devoured the book in almost one sitting. A friend was visiting and kept saying: ‘You can put that down now.’ I couldn’t.
Vanessa Hilton-Barber

You have written a truly wonderful novel.
Jeremy Boraine

It highlights the human struggle. We are all battling something, and our struggles are all very real.
Trudy Mofutsanyana

I had such a good read. It’s a very intelligent book, really high-quality writing, and an awesome story … funny, emotional, human.
Bieke van Aggelen

The book surfaces a lot of personal things. These last three days, I have been 20 again. I could picture absolutely everything. The whole time I was reading, I was watching the remaining pages getting fewer and wishing they weren’t.
Jenny Wade

This book is magnificent! My heart contracts and sings ad flies…
Karin van der Laag
