Delightful and heartbreaking -- David Baddiel * The Times *
Her writing is effortlessly readable -- Lucy Scholes * Sunday Times *
A novel that tingles with playfulness and wicked observation * Independent *
There are lots of sharp insights on the generation gap, the pseudo-intimacy generated by the internet, and American high-school life; Wolitzer displays perfect comic timing in her awkward chats between jocular teachers and mortified teens * Guardian *
Highly entertaining and a serious page-turner. Wolitzer's humour and language create a compelling read * Aesthetica *
