Praise for Hotel 21
An Hello! Magazine ‘Don’t Miss This Week’ pick
“(Rich) ..knows how to keep a reader’s attention to the last. She is also adept at creating that most elusive yet gratifying of literary characters: the badly behaved woman whom everyone will root for. As offbeat character studies go, this is as good as it gets”
The Irish Independent
“It’s like a breath of fresh air to read a book that is neither preaching nor gloomy, while dealing in a very humane way with serious subjects. If there’s any justice in the world this will be a huge hit”
The Sunday Independent
“Beautifully told, this is a heart-warming and thought-provoking read”
Heat magazine, 5 star review
“a dark and joyous character driven book that will have you questioning what it is to be human”
Woman’s Weekly
“A sharp, easy summer read. ideal for readers looking for escape”

“Read it in two days. Loved it. Noelle is my new hero, she quietly but firmly stole my heart”
Ericka Waller, author of Dig Days
“Wonderful!”
