Rainbow Rowell Press Reviews

Absolutely captivating. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A funny and tender coming-of-age story that's also the story of a writer finding her voice...touching and utterly real. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Rowell, whose last young adult novel was “Eleanor & Park,” specializes in young misfits charting their way in the world. She doesn’t disappoint here. Though the theme of a young writer finding her voice may be familiar, Rowell brings to it fresh humor, heart and more than a few surprises. – New York Times

It will leave a mark, one that you'll probably always remember and refer to, and it'll stay in your head for weeks and weeks. These characters become like family, and reaching the last page is like a bittersweet goodbye to someone you hope you'll see again. Brilliant. – Wondrous Reads
