Reviews

‘Fantastically, gloriously funny’ Katherine Rundell, author of The Explorer

‘It’s hard not to be endeared by Car and his attempts to find fame and happiness – only to realise it might have been at home all along. It’s not the most groundbreaking or unique story out there, but it still makes for a fun read’ Independent

‘If you’re looking for a laugh, look no further than Something I Said by Ben Bailey Smith’ Scotsman
