Reasons to Be Cheerful by Nina Stibbe
5.0
You don’t get many witty and funny books set in the 1970’s. I expected it to be a modern set novel, and was pleasantly surprised!
Following 18 year old Lizzie who becomes a dental assistant nurse, we follow her when she wants more with her boyfriend, learning to drive and taught by a vicar’s wife and having to wear sandals because of her athletes foot.
Lizzie grows immensely as a character through out and I so wish there would be a sequel. Nina Stibbe has a way with words and I just wanted this to be longer!
