Critics Review

  • The most important book I’ve read this decade, and possibly ever

    Stylist
  • My best book of the year so far. And probably next year’s too

    Jojo Moyes
  • Controversial, detailed, spellbinding, upsetting, true and compelling in equal measure

    Sunday Times
  • Painful and beautiful, gutting and sexy. I don’t think I’ve read a book that has captivated me as intensely as this one, which I still think about, months later, in the quietest hours of the night

    Red
  • A book with the thrill of the new that you can expect to dominate WhatsApp threads, line Tube carriages and pop up in foreign Airbnbs for years to come

    Evening Standard
  • The biggest debut of the year . . . Groundbreaking

    Vogue
