Customer Reviews

Everything you felt, but would never say

I found this book to be one of the greatest tools in mending a broken heart. Every raw emotion felt and every crazy thought that has crossed your mind through love and heart break is described within the pages of this book. I cannot describe how brilliant I believe this book to be, I only applaud Georgie Nickell for having the courage to expose her own heart and pain for us to read and relate to and to say the things more of us with we could express. Reading this book and all of the experiences she takes you through makes you want to light up with her over a vodka tonic with extra lime! Without a doubt any female old or young who has ever loved and lost would fall in love with book at page one.

A new voice for the fearless women of the world

Young and fearless women of the world, you have a new voice! And that is the voice of Glamourina, the alter-ego of "I Only Smoke on Thursday"'s main character. Author Georgie Nickell does an excellent and heartbreaking job of showing us the trials and triumphs of a girl just like us.Georgie Nickell's first novel displays the humor of David Sedaris and the thoughtfulness of Anita Brookner.Highly recommended.

Excellent Choice

This vulnerable journey through tissues and too many cigarettes triumps in overcoming insecurities and loss, only to find herself all the better and stronger for it. This character has experiences and emotions that all can relate to at one point or another, with just the right amount of kookiness and comic relief. Two thumbs up for Glamourina!

Fabulous!

This a savvy look at a young woman's everyday struggle with life, lipstick & lame men. ANY smart & sexy lady who has ever loved, been obsessed, fawned over or been left broken hearted can identify with this heroine. I cried, I laughed out loud, I sympathized and laughed out loud again. I am looking forward to Ms. Nickell's next venture.

Chick Book with KICK!

I discovered this book not too long ago and loved it. With just the right amount of laughs, tears and notable sarcasm, it'sthe best "chick book" I've read in a long time.
