So Happy it Hurts is something of a high-wire act, laugh-out-loud funny at times but also so emotionally honest that it sometimes feels like a punch to the guts . . . as sharp a novel about 21st-century living as you'll find anywhere.' The Big Issue. 'A heartbreakingly sincere quest for happiness.. when it’s happy, Anneliese Mackintosh’s latest work is positively radiant.' The Skinny Praise for Any Other Mouth: 'An unnerving debut that sits at the intersection between short story collection, novel and memoir... Mackintosh manages the impressive feat of laying bare her broken heart, dysfunctional family and insecurities in a way that seduces rather than invites pity, a vein of wry humour running through even the darkest moments.' The List Magazine 'It’s one of the saddest yet most uplifting things I’ve read in ages and it made me cry. Mackintosh is a real talent and Any Other Mouth is a remarkable debut.' The Independent
