I managed to read your book in 2 days! Probably the best book I’ve read in years, I couldn’t put it down! It provided a beautiful insight into dyslexia.

A lovely tribute to your best friend, your dear mum ❤

I really enjoyed reading On Being Dyslexic. Your writing is lucid and absolutely charming. Your authorial voice is warm and candid, and builds a lovely intimate connection with the reader. I felt drawn in - and very moved at times. I haven’t experienced dyslexia myself, but being able to see the world through your personal journey is very insightful about the invisible struggles people live through - and about how a positive spirit can keep you going. It is very powerful to follow your growth and development through a sharply-realised series of incidents from the various stages of your life.

The book is a joy to read - and food for thought about what each of us can - or could - do to improve our own lives and to give each other wings.

Thanks so much for your bravery in sharing your story. I admire the clarity and directness with which you have portrayed it. It is a lovely book.
