a writer in tune with today’s young Irish

an attractive lightness of touch … sharply entertaining

-- Irish Times

it is difficult to handle such young teenage themes without being patronising or pompous, but Carey admirably avoids both temptations, resulting in a novel refreshing not just in its good-natured humour – there are some delightfully sly and mischievous one-liners  - but also in its unsentimental endorsement of youthful dreams and aspirations

-- Irish Times

the pages in Carey’s novel in which her young lesbian character announces her coming out to her friends and in which they give their reactions are superbly written: tone is everything, and it could not be better handled than it is here
