This book was relatable and funny. You couldn’t help but laugh at Coco’s misfortunes. Her tendency to be awkward had me giggling. Coco is raw and honest you get what you see with her!

This Book was Funny and delighting. I started off a little like WTF??? I wondered what it was that I was reading and who all of these people were. I really had a hard time originally connecting but by the third or fourth e-mail I had figured it out. THere were a LOT of unanswered questions but a good solid read!

I really enjoyed this as light summer reading. It's like the love-child between Bridget Jones and Georgia Nicolson.

Light and fun. Had a few laugh out loud moments. Bought the series on sale on Amazon and will definitely read the rest. Surprised at how much story can be told in the form of emails. Liked all the characters too.

I loved this book!! Reminded me very much of Bridget Jones, without feeling like a rip off. If you like Bridget Jones, you will like Coco Pinchard! Off to read the next one...

Four stars! Funny book written in an interesting, stream of consciousness style -- basically everything from our email's out box. At first I wasn't sure that I liked it because it is written with a lot of British slang. After a while it was so funny that I didn't mind that at all. The humor was pretty deadpan and I enjoyed it a lot. Some examples are: "One day you’ll be bigger than Regina Battenberg.' 'No thanks,' I said. 'She’s packing a lot under that Kaftan.'" and "The crowds have thinned out to just the weirdos. In my pink tracksuit and Jelly Shoes, I am blending in."

Dat Robert Bryndza meer schrijft dan enkel thriller maakt hij duidelijk met Coco Pinchard. Coco leer je kennen door grotendeels e-mails. Haar leven - of karakter misschien? - leest soms als wat op het irritant af maar daarnaast ook enorm boeiend.
Niet alleen Coco is boeiend maar ook alle andere personages zijn zeker alles behalve saai. Ik vond deze manier van lezen - door middel van e-mails (al lijkt het mij dat dit niet voor elke lezer een fijne manier van lezen is) - eigenlijk heel leuk en eens iets anders.
Ik sprintte doorheen het boek zonder dat ik het doorhad, dankzij die setup en natuurlijk de schrijfstijl van Robbert Bryndza. Ik genoot enorm van dit boek en was ideaal om mij uit een klein dipje te trekken.
Benieuwd wat Coco nog meer gaat beleven, of wie ze nog meer ontmoet. 💌

I really don't know how to describe this book.... it was funny at times but nothing to really knock you off your seat. It was a good story but seemed to drag on for a long time... I'm not sure if telling the story from emails was really the way to go... it would have been better just as a normal novel I think.

Laugh-out-loud funny novel, told completely in the emails from Coco Pinchard, British author of a satirical novel called Chasing Diana Spencer, to her friends, family members, and agent. Coco's "voice" is distinct and hilarious. Bryndza uses the sequencing of her emails to great effect. The ending is a little too neatly wrapped but, by that time, Coco has earned a happy ending!
