Praise for PIVOT WOW! What an inspiring read! Refreshing, hilarious and really uplifting, it has put the biggest bounce in my step. I fell in love with Jackie, Ros and the rest of the squad - and everyone else will too. Such a brilliant story, I love love loved it! * HELLY ACTON, author of The Shelf * The book we need at the moment - a joyous celebration of female friendship and midlife. And as a netball player, I really did enjoy the attention to comic detail - the Wing Attack who runs off mid-chat to grab the ball and the Wing Defence bib always being the last one left. Hilarious. * Caroline Corcoran, author of FIVE DAYS MISSING * Hugely uplifting, enjoyable fun, I fell in love with the Skids! * Daisy Buchanan, author of CAREERING * I'd LOVE to read a whole book of Laura's funny, clever, sweet imagination . . . it made me laugh a huge amount! -- Marian Keyes Laura is so funny and I can't wait to read this book and I hope it isn't awkward when I *actually* marry Jurgen Klopp -- Sara Pascoe It's rare to find brilliant new talent, rarer still to discover it on Twitter but Laura's thread on Klopp was my highlight of the year. I cannot wait to see what she does in book form. I shall devour it. A great shining comedic talent -- Emma Kennedy I am absolute LOVING Klopp Actually... it was my favourite, favourite birthday present. -- Zoe Ball I laughed until I cracked a rib -- Adrian Chiles * BBC Radio 5 Live *
