"Riveting, acerbic, hyper-perceptive."  Boston Globe  "If Helen Fielding had been born in 1979 and become a hyper-precocious Goth Kid whose favorite book was Prozac Nation, she probably would have ended up writing exactly like Andrea Seigel."  Chuck Klosterman  "Andrea Seigel's confidence-- her intelligence and nerve-- lets her take risks that sweep the reader along."  Bret Easton Ellis
