Witty, self-deprecating, and snappy, this is a refreshing take on the single, neurotic British female genre. –This text refers to the Paperback edition
I didn’t expect this book be this good. I was expecting for just another read, but it turned out to have some depth, intrigue, romance, humor, and heart. It has a nice balance and its make the read easy and fun. I recommend Back Pack to everyone
