Reviews for The Happy Couple - with exclusive tote bag

Sassy and smart and wickedly funny, Dolan's voice is uniquely her own. I inhaled every irreverent page
Ruth Gilligan, author of The Butchers I just finished The Happy Couple and I loved it - an extremely funny examination of modern love, with depth, bite and poignancy
Daisy Buchanan, author of INSATIABLE Dolan, whose debut novel Exciting Times was ... Read morea storming success, is sure to bring her sparkling wit and insightful understanding of human relationships to this second outing
Irish Independent
I pure LOVED The Happy Couple. So witty, observant, wise and funny. Nihilistic about heteronormative relationships but so charmingly done I barely noticed. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it
Marian Keyes A cracking ensemble, The Happy Couple is a beautiful sonata about our relationships and a sad fugue for fear and loneliness. The book is a tough, all-engrossing love-test. Dolan's acerbic humour is unapologetically analytical. She breaks the rule of intimacy with wit and panache that are second to none. I was kept on tenterhooks till the last few pages and my heart wouldn't stop pounding afterwards. I don't want to say goodbye to Luke and Celine.
Kit Fan, author of DIAMOND HILL Endlessly funny, endlessly inventive - a bold and stylish novel that slipped down and burned like a shot of something lovely
Rebecca Wait, author of I’M SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY A sophisticated character study of a young couple coming to terms with their relationship, in this biting, whip-smart look at modern love and the tangled messes we leave behind us. I am fully in awe of Dolan's talent. And so glad my twenties are over
Douglas Stuart, author of YOUNG MUNGO and SHUGGIE BAIN The Happy Couple is a dazzling follow-up to Exciting Times. Dolan spins her magic again with humour and insight and the sharpest of prose. Not a word out of place
KATHERINE HEINY, author of STANDARD DEVIATION and EARLY MORNING RISER The Happy Couple is just as satisfying as Exciting Times, and deals with class, money, gender dynamics and bisexuality with similar ease. Set between London and Dublin, it is a beautiful exploration of love, fidelity - and whether either are compatible with marriage
Pandora Sykes The Happy Couple is one of those rare novels that feel like it's been written just for you. It's precisely what I love to read: engaging, fast-paced, hilarious, but still tender and moving. Also, is Dolan an actual genius? The pages just sparkle with smartness. It's a true joy to read, I adored it from the first page to the last
Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days The funniest writer you will read this year. Every page crackles
Irish Independent, on EXCITING TIMES Droll, shrewd and unafraid
Hilary Mantel, on EXCITING TIMES Witty, compelling, with a razor-sharp social commentary. I guzzled it
Pandora Sykes, on EXCITING TIMES It's flawless
Colm Tóibín, on EXCITING TIMES I found myself purring with pleasure. This is comic writing at the highest level
Craig Brown, on EXCITING TIMES Ice cool, self-aware and very funny. Shares of Lorrie Moore and The Bell Jar
Graham Norton, on EXCITING TIMES I had real fun with Exciting Times. It is a very funny, spiky, Marxist, feminist comedy and it's really mean
Zadie Smith, on EXCITING TIMES A sharp, smart, witty modern love story. I loved it
David Nicholls, on EXCITING TIMES Naoise Dolan's prose accommodates equally well a quickening heart and a mind on fire
Joshua Ferris, on EXCITING TIMES Fiercely intelligent, brutally funny and written with such heart, EXCITING TIMES announces an impressive new voice in literature
Nathan Filer, on EXCITING TIMES Show Less
