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-turnerWolitzer's humour and language create a compelling read * Aesthetica *
Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels, most recently The Wife ('has you howling with recognition' Allison Pearson), The Position ('one of the best and most human books I've read all year' Erica Wagner) and The Ten-Year Nap ('wickedly, terrifically funny... a true delight' Independent).
