Reviews for The Uncoupling

Highly entertaining and a serious page-turner. Wolitzer's humour and language create a compelling read * Aesthetica * 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 * A novel that tingles with playfulness and wicked observation * Independent * Her writing is effortlessly readable -- Lucy Scholes * Sunday Times * Delightful and heartbreaking -- David Baddiel * The Times *
