Quotes

"Rowell offers more of what she does best: character-driven stories interlaced with a healthy dose of nerdiness and a little sappy indulgence thrown in as a treat. It’s easy to get swept up in these tales and root so passionately for the protagonists that it almost hurts, but readers will close the covers feeling satisfied...A treat." - Kirkus Reviews

“Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times, on Landline

“Rowell nails the voices of her teen protagonists—her writing swings from profane to profound, but it’s always real and always raw.”—Petra Mayer, NPR Books, on Eleanor & Park

“Absolutely captivating.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Fangirl
