Surely the debut of the year. Heiney's voice has a stunning wit and assurance - A superb first novel
Heiney's dazzlingly well-written debut - her prose has the kick and swagger of the young Martin Amis - reels you in with the promise of frothy fun, only to do a volte face into darker, more troubling territory.
One of the funniest, most profound and most affecting books I have ever read. It has literally blown me away.
Clever, with plenty of substance beneath the surface satire - and very well-written, not least considering that Rose Heiney is only 23.
When publishers' lists glitter with fools gold, it is reassuring to catch gleams of the real thing.
