Publisher's Summary
'Taps into the humour and pathos of ordinary life in a way that has you nodding with recognition . . . while at the same time laughing out loud' PIP WILLIAMS
'I just loved this very smart, very funny and at times moving novel' SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM
One perfect life. One disastrous week. The brand-new novel from bestselling, acclaimed and beloved author Toni Jordan
As the eldest child in a single-parent family, Kylie's always had more important things on her mind than smiling for random strangers. Controlling her job, her home, her romantic life and - most importantly - her family takes all her concentration. She's always succeeded, though, because that's just who Kylie is.
When her fiercely independent mother breaks an ankle and needs help, it's up to Kylie, as usual, to fix things. She reluctantly packs her bags and moves in, but back in her childhood home, things start to unravel. Could it be that Kylie's carefully curated life is not so perfect after all?
Prettier if She Smiled More will make you laugh and make you cry. Is it too late to start over?

Cardboard characters - not worth your time
The book was written with a ‘truckload’ of sayings. The characters were one dimensional, and none appeared like-able.
Spend your time on anything but reading this book.
Tbh - I kept thinking what was the editor doing?

Don’t recommend
Listened to an interview with the author on the radio, thought she was so interesting and funny. Bought the book and am so disappointed.
Characters are cringeworthy caricatures.
Can’t recommend the narrator either.
Should have returned it.

Light reading
Enjoyable, easy read with likeable characters. Hoping this is the second in a trilogy about the siblings.

Didn’t love it
Local references were nice. Found the main character annoying and other characters not much better. Didn’t enjoy the overly acted narration. Wouldn’t run out to buy the rest of the series.
