Nobody writes like Meg Rosoff. An absolute masterclass in voice * Holly Bourne * This book is pure wit. Nobody captures the teenage experience quite like Meg Rosoff, and here it is laid out in all its mortifying, sweaty, hilarious, brilliant glory. A caper of the highest order * Katya Balen * Adore it. Pure unmissable fun and wisdom combined * Amanda Craig * The latest coming-of-age story from the bestselling, award-winning author will be devoured by teens everywhere * iNews * Slapstick comedy meets coming-of-age pathos in a gloriously witty adventure encapsulating all the awkwardness and yearning of being 17 * Guardian * As ever with Rosoff, the voice is pitch-perfect – that beautifully adolescent mix of longing and sharp, clueless and world-weary – and the story compulsively readable * Irish Times *
