A sharp-eyed, engaging, endearing and ultimately optimistic story' <strong>Sydney Morning Herald</strong></p><br><p>'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' <strong>PIP WILLIAMS</strong></p><br><p><strong>One perfect life.

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?</p><br><p>Prettier if She Smiled More will make you laugh and make you cry. Is it too late to start over?</p><br><p>'Hilarious . . . A funny take on menopause, caring for an ageing parent, perfectionism and midlife crises told with Toni's signature observational humour and wit on ordinary life' <strong>Woman's Day</strong></p><br><p>'A funny and smart family drama' <strong>Weekend Australian</strong></p><br><p>'Fabulous' <strong>Who Weekly</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p>More about Toni Jordan: <a href="https://www.tonijordan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tonijordan.com/</a></p><br><p>Buy Prettier if She Smiled More on Apple Books: <a href="https://apple.co/44Oudrc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apple.co/44Oudrc</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Follow Writing Books and Music on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/writingbooksandmusicpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/writingbooksandmusicpodcast/</a></p><br><p>Follow Writing Books and Music on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/writingbooksandmusic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/writingbooksandmusic</a></p><br><p>Sophie Green’s website: <a href="https://sophiegreenauthor.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sophiegreenauthor.wordpress.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
