 Review 
'No Full Stops is a refreshing reflection on living with cancer through the emotional, humorous and very real accounts of one woman's experience. Louise has gifted readers with the ability to sit in the skin of a cancer patient and understand a little of what the experience and pain may be like, but her quirky and magnetic personality ensures a light, enjoyable and funny read.' 
Kirstine Lumb-McKay, Writer & Award-winning Journalist 
 'Sharing commonly unspoken insights, No Full Stops chronicles a year defined by cancer diagnosis and treatment, interspersed with more lighthearted anecdotes, resulting in an informative, candid and relatable story about life, cancer, family, and the depths of human resilience. It also captures insightfully the post-cancer journey, where a different kind of personal struggle emerges. The reader can't help but reflect on how they might integrate similar experiences and make meaning from a "second chance" at life. 
I'd commend No Full Stops as a comforting companion for those facing their own diagnosis, treatment, and recovery journey and equally helpful to friends and families trying to understand their loved one's perspective. A valuable read if you're reflecting on the impact of cancer or any other life-altering event.' 
Dr Rebecca Jackson, PhD, Psychologist & Author of The Journey of You 
'No Full Stops is an easy read, funny, frenetic, honest and vulnerable. Louise's description of her 'Annus Horribilis', the year she spent fighting breast cancer and trying to juggle her life and responsibilities while being treated, is raw and revealing but full of hope and courage. As a fellow breast cancer survivor, this is the book I would have liked those around me to have read.' 
Olga Birrell, Breast Cancer Survivor
