Juliet Escoria has created a propulsive, addictive story... told with a singular honesty; it can feel brutal--it burns--but it's also illuminating, and a necessary counterpoint to all those teenage stories that marginalize the girl we actually want to read about. --NYLON [An] exciting first novel... Juliet the Maniac is one of those coming-of-age stories that will feel so darn personal, you'll wonder if Escoria had a secret recording device in your own teenage heart. --BUSTLE An author to watch --Michael Schaub at LA TIMES Juliet the Maniac is a late-nineties Bell Jar, a Girl, Interrupted in gloomy sunny Southern California, an autofiction from a former reform-school pirate princess.
