“[Written with] unsparing psychological precision. … What makes Sabina’s coming-of-age story so compelling is the arresting voice Engel has fashioned for her: a voice that’s immediate, unsentimental, and disarmingly direct.”
MICHIKO KAKUTANI, The New York Times
“Arresting. … A tingle of recognition builds as detail after detail sings with the veracity of real life. … It’s the true-to-life version of the The Virgin Suicides, as vivid and revealing, in its way, as Jeffrey Eugenides’s novel.”
The New York Times Book Review
“[A] vibrant new voice. Unforgettable.” ELISSA SCHAPPELL, Vanity Fair
“[Engel’s] chiseled prose (precise and unforgiving as a boxer’s jab) and tender knowledge [prove] that yearning for meaning sometimes breathes under the thickest hides.” OSCAR VILLALON, NPR.org
