Hello Team CCC! How are you?
I wanted to let you know that my latest novel, PITY PARTY is out in paperback today - now with a bright pink cover.
It’s a rom com, and I’ve brought as much wit, heart and depth to the table as I can. When Katherine is suddenly widowed at 30, she doesn’t know how she feels, or how to grieve correctly. (This is very hard for a young woman who thinks something terrible will happen if she doesn’t get everything right.) Her mad, well-meaning mother-in-law, and her best friend, hatch a plan, and send her to an alternative healing retreat. Will primal screaming and erotic meditation help Katherine to heal, and work out wjo she really loves? And who she really is?
Do I think it’s good? HECK, YEAH! Am I proud of it? VERY! Am I dying inside as I type this? YOU KNOW IT! So here are some of my favourite reviews:
Buchanan is such a terrific comic writer it makes this novel a joy to read. - I Paper
A powerful, riveting and frequently hilarious novel about grief, identity and desire. Pity Party is original, moving and totally addictive. I absolutely loved this gorgeous book! - Roxy Bourdillon, DIVA Magazine
Daisy Buchanan manages to make bereavement not only gloriously readable, but genuinely funny - without losing sight of real emotion. With a relatable heroine and a brilliant supporting cast of characters, this is Daisy's best yet. I tore through it. - Marina O'Loughin, JOURNALIST
Pity Party is neatly done with some chuckles along the way; it's also a rather moving depiction of the horrible, ungovernable messiness of loss. - The Times
Daisy Buchanan excels in bringing complex women to life, and she's outdone herself in the heartbreakingly beautiful Pity Party - Irish News
Daisy writes beautifully and empathetically about real, flawed people and messy lives. I adored everyone in this novel. - @jennie godfrey, author of THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS
Brilliant characters, a heartfelt story and lots of soul. Daisy's ability to bring characters to life and plot out brilliantly messy storylines is a gift. I loved this book - Fearne Cotton, author of SCRIPTED

I hope that this book entertains you, lifts you up and leaves you feeling better than it finds you. That’s all I hope for, as a reader, so it’s very important to me that my books do this for my readers!
Love,
