Review :
"Jump! is the perfect read for chilly autumn nights. Hugely entertaining, touching and funny, yet again Cooper has a winner." Daily Express 20100917 "The narrative zips along, pierced with her characteristically brilliant ear for dialogue and empathy for human relationships of all kinds...You won't be able to put it down once you get going." Daily Mail 20100924 "Near-magical ability to conjure up a world and populate it with people for whom you feel a deep affection." The Observer 20100912 "A classic romp through the world of horse racing. Guilty pleasures rarely come as delicious as this." ELLE, Oct 2010 "Jilly has given more pleasure to more girls and women than anyone else alive today...Cooper's familiar warmth and irrepressible humour." LADY 20100921
