Critics Review
-
Each & Every One is a stylish read, a great plot with wonderfully colourful characters. A story with humour and fun, and a story with a message
THINGS THROUGH MY LETTER BOX blog
-
Each and Every One is a smart book ... adult children learn to stand on their own two feet after the Bank of Mum and Dad goes under - it cleverly explores the broader impact of the recession
STYLIST
-
English writes well and with a keen sense of absurdity. The appeal of the book is the authenticity of its portrait of Dublin today ... [an] entertaining and lively novel.
IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAY
-
Something of a moral fable, it's pacey, lively fun

English has produced an engaging tale, peppered with sharp insights and a strong story arc . . . an easy read, but a clever one too that cements her reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the books market.
IRISH INDEPENDENT
-
This was a wonderful story, so well told. At times it's very funny, at other times it's heartbreakingly sad . . . I absolutely loved it
BEING ANNE Blog
-
An insightful book about the ties that really hold families together
IRISH COUNTRY MAGAZINE
-
The author criticises a media culture predicated on dizzying highs and terrifying lows . . . English skilfully weaves these insights into the story through her characters, helping to jolly along a predictable but readable plot.
IRISH TIMES
-
As with Going Back, her characters are full of life, and her dialogue brims with wit and emotion. This is an engaging read, and an easy one, but no less clever for it.
SUNDAY BUSINESS POST
-
A fabulously unique idea and extremely well delivered by Rachael English
BOOK LOVE BUG

Funny, sad, ironic and warm. Right from page one I was engaged and settled down for a very contented read.
BETWEEN MY LINES
