Ulrike Hill Reviews This Way Up by Paige Nick

This Way UpVerdict: stick

This Way Up is Paige Nick’s second novel. The story bumbles along.

Conservative Stella dreams of becoming a feature writer.

She wants to escape the Dr Dee column she has penned for two years, two months and nine hours, answering the letters of then “deranged” and “retarded” about their sexual problems.

    Fairly gentle little paddle. But I maintain that reviewers doling out sticks should check their pieces for typos and other errors (Eat, Pray, Love is a non-fiction self-help/memoir title, and it certainly wasn't funny, or trying to be).
