Wonderful! * Daily Mail * Beautifully told, this is a heart-warming and thought-provoking read. * Heat * Beautifully told, this is a heart-warming and thought-provoking read. * Irish Times * A sharp, funny, poignant and completely heart-warming story about female friendship and kick-ass women. I truly loved it! * Ruth Hogan * Noelle is my new hero, she quietly, but firmly stole my heart. * Ericka Waller, author of Dog Days * A fresh, funny and touching read about friendship, survival and the power of human connection. Beautifully drawn and wonderfully satisfying. I loved it. * Holly Miller, author of What Might Have Been * Hotel 21 is the kind of poignant, thought-provoking page-turner you can fly through in a day * Culturefly * A dark and joyous character-driven book * Woman’s Weekly * A seasoned screenwriter, [Rich] knows how to keep a reader’s attention to the last. She is adept at creating that most elusive yet gratifying of literary characters: the badly behaved woman whom everyone will root for. As offbeat character studies go, this is as good as it gets. * Irish Independent * ‘Noelle is full of candour and complexity – it’s impossible not to like her. Senta Rich also offers a fascinating insight into the world of hotels, including the camaraderie of the mostly cleaning staff.’ * The Weekend Australian *
