Reader Comments
‘Head for the Edge’ is a brilliant and thought-provoking novel. It is laugh out loud funny and serious in equal measure. Highly recommended.
Compelling, intelligent, laugh-out loud book
'Head for the Edge...' is poignant at times and at others utterly hilarious. When telling friends about the book - on a number of occasions I have read aloud an exchange between Jill and her online lover Ferris. I can still barely get through a paragraph without laughing like a drain!
So many sentences you want to quote aloud!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jill Beech is very real. Lot of good laughs too. Highly recommend.
A brilliant book, with wit, warmth, heartbreak and disaster, finding the humour in despair and the despair in humour. One for every woman, and for every man too.
