Spilt Milk, Black Coffee
‘A very fine look at real people behind tabloid stereotypes…Jackie is a poor role model but she is fabulous to read about; a character who can barely be contained on the page.’
– The Times
‘This is magnificent portrait of adolescence and the mother-daughter realstionship is movingly portrayed…a welcome and timely take on England now, from a talented and thoughtful writer.’
– The Independent

The Secrets She Keeps
‘There’s a timeless feel to this tale of loneliness, greed and beauty. Cross writes as beautifully as you’d expect.’
– Daily Mail.
‘A compelling stylistic immediacy and an ability to imbue the everyday world with sensuality and strangeness…’ raw energy and flashes of brilliance.’
– Sunday Telegraph

My Summer of Love
‘Evocative, ferocious, even visceral…A hand-grendade of a novel…a novel of quite exceptional power.’
– Daily Mail
‘Energetic and blackly comic…the reader is hooked from start to finish.’
– The Times
‘Outstanding…genuinely original…with sharp black comedy Helen Cross pinpoints the symptoms of adolescence that lead to disaster’
– Vogue
