The Comeback The Warm, Funny and Irrepressible New Novel from the Sunday Times Bestselling Author by Mel Giedroyc

 The Comeback by Mel Giedroyc


I really like Mel Giedroyc and knew I had to read her book. I find her funny and engaging and the same is largely true for this book. I liked the cast of characters (even if there was a lot of them and I sometimes struggled to remember who was who) revolving around the local theater troupe. It is well written and does feel warm hearted and has some funny moments, its an easy sort of summer read and I enjoyed it  Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ARC.
