Brooke Crawford is a Melbourne based author of the terrific debut novel ‘Better Than the Real Thing’ published by HQ Fiction.

Described as ‘Notting Hill’ meets ‘Bridget Jones’ Baby’ this novel is smart, pacy, funny, drama filled and utterly romantic. 

I can’t recommend it highly enough!!

The perfect summer read and one I suspect will be filling Christmas stockings around the country before too long. 

I enjoyed a wonderful chat with Brooke about her wonderful novel for the podcast recently.
