"""Not a lot of writers are able to tackle trauma and healing without flinching; K. M. Szpara is one of those. I'll be keeping an eye on this writer from here on!"" --N. K. Jemisin ""Szpara has an amazing gift for immersing us in a world of exploitation and unbearable tenderness, and making it feel familiar and inescapable."" --Charlie Jane Anders on Docile ""An unflinching examination of class and bleakest capitalism. Brilliant. Properly chilling."" --Stoya on Docile ""If you're not careful, this disturbing, sexy, disturbingly sexy book will infect your brain."" --Sam J. Miller on Docile"
