On 21 October 2014, Cox guest presented a Children in Need episode of The Great British Sewing Bee. [26] The characters were so fully formed and vividly described that they all came to life instantly for me and I felt completely invested in each of their stories. The pottery aspect was a very clever devise (and clearly the author has used her experience on the great pottery throw down to full advantage) and wove there stories all together seamlessly. I wish I was part of their class! This story has Sara's voice ringing true throughout. A fresh, cheeky, insightful take on how change can happen through female friendships." - Dawn French The inhabitants of the Inventor's Housing Estate keep themselves to themselves.

Summary
The above is basically the story. It is somewhat predictable and mildly scattered with jokey female sexual references that are slightly on the cringeworthy side. There is no suspense at all, but then again it is not a thriller, so I am not sure which genre it would fall into. Maybe we could say it is inoffensive and definitely well researched as far as the pottery is concerned, but otherwise quite bland. Jameela: all she’s ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won’t life give her the one thing she wants? The story was getting increasingly ridiculous and was really resembling a soap opera more than a well-written novel, so that's why I've decided to finish off here. I won't leave a star review, because it doesn't seem right if I haven't even read to the end. I read all the Judy Blume books and obviously The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Riders and Polo combined some fruity frolics and horses and that blew my 15-year-old mind. English lit A-level really brought Shakespeare to life – I read Romeo and Juliet with my sister before she went away to London, cuddled up on a top bunk. Moore, Matthew (11 January 2018).

Jameela: All she's ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won't life give her the one thing she really wants? On 1 July 2022, it was announced that, in September, Cox would extend her drivetime show by an hour to run from 4–7pm to coincide with Scott Mills joining the station on a permanent basis to present from 2–4pm. [19] Television [ edit ] Thrown is the debut novel by broadcaster Sara Cox and mainly concerns a group of local women who enrol on a course of pottery to be held in the local, and very run down, community centre. The women are a disparate group, each with problems of their own, ranging from childlessness, death and criminal ex-husbands, to a variety of emotionally charged dilemmas. What a lovely debut novel from Sara Cox. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was more than pleasantly surprised with this well told story full of likeable well written characters.Jameela: all she's ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won't life give her the one thing she wants? The metaphor of pottery is perfect for Thrown. Not only do many characters find themselves thrown by events, but they themselves are like the items made in the community centre. Some are more perfect than others. Many have flaws. Some are broken and every single person is unique. What I found so successful too, is the fact that at the end of the book, not every single plot element is resolved; just like real life not everyone gets a happy ending or knows exactly what will happen next.
