Reviews for I Love Shopping

""When I read [Cook's] writing, I feel like I'm just being chatted to about very normal things like desperation and fantasy and wishing the world were different but also loving it just as it is. It's a soothing experience to remember that all the small, stupid things that make up my life are enormous, and it's okay for me to feel strongly about them.""—Nora Treatbaby, The Whitney Review ""Kinetic . . . pinging between the depraved digital and the lonely truth of the IRL world.""  —Tobias Hess, PAPER ""[A] cult favorite internet novel.""  —Language Arts ""A genre moshpit . . . Feels like you’re wired on some hard drugs and talking with your best friend.""—Hadley Corbett, Anderson’s Bookshop ""Lauren Cook can make truly any subject captivating.""—Natalie Marlin, Moon Palace Books
