‘When the Boys are Away’

‘The story is told with Webb’s characteristically light touch, so Meg’s quirky take on life stops her running aground. Nautical but nice.’
The Irish Times

‘Meg is so cleverly drawn and easy to identify with. Hattie is definitely more Samantha Jones than Charlotte York and she keeps the ‘naught-ical’ rather than nautical theme running through her quest (to find a rich husband). With the summer beckoning, girls’ minds are turning to play and with this page-turner in your beach bag, the boys can stay away that bit longer!’
The Irish Independent

‘When The Boys Are Away is a fantastic read, filled with exceptionally loveable characters that you’ll hate leaving after the last page. This is an unputdownable book and I can recommend it with full confidence that it won’t disappoint!’ ***** (5 stars)
Evening Echo

'My reader believes Webb is one of the best in the genre, with each novel toppling the last. She is very much in the Carole Matthews market, and deserves the same attention.'
Sarah Broadhurst, Paperback Preview: Sept.
