'This is vintage Caroline Smailes – quirky offbeat, magical, shot through with dark humour and yet ultimately uplifting and moving. A bewitching and unique tale I’ll be gifting far and wide this Christmas.’ @sophieglorita

'I've said it many times before, Caroline Smailes is MAGIC! And Theodora Quirke proves it. The best book I have read this year! 12/10 (my highest rating EVER!)' @Tishylou

'A Christmas delight from start to finish.' @The Little Contemporary Corner

'With a lot of laughs, a little heartbreak, some villainous behaviour, and some plotting and scheming, The Unwrapping of Theodora Quirke was a brilliant story of love and friendship, and a lot of Christmas spirit.’ @GeordieDeeDee

'Caroline’s writing is special, it grabs a hold of you and seeps into your skin.' @VictoriaLovesBooks

'Yes it’s Northern, yes it’s gritty, yes it’s sweary and London gave up on me and on the book as a result. I guess I've something to prove.' Liverpool Echo
