‘Eerie and unsettling and believable’
Gillian Flynn, author of
Gone Girl
'Absolute dynamite. I could not stop reading until I had devoured it whole'
Elizabeth Day, author of
One of Us
'A bleak, hilarious and uncomfortable triumph. Underscores McCurdy’s talent for focusing in on the multilayered nature of trauma and artfully unpicking it, one scab at a time’
Guardian
‘A postmodern novel for the fast-fashion generation and a portrait of civilizational decline told through relentless consumption. McCurdy’s brittle commentary made me think of Don DeLillo [and her] furious writing is hard to tear yourself away from.’
The Atlantic
‘A bold and unapologetic novel for edge-seekers, doom-scrollers, latchkey kids, horn-dogs and all those who love hard’
Brittany Newell in the
New York Times
‘Shocking, honest and unsparing. A sardonic voice, finely tuned to the push and pull of tragedy and humour'
Sunday Times Style
‘A beadily intelligent novel. Waldo is a brilliant creation, and I hope McCurdy makes the transition to novelist a permanent one’
The Times
'Thought-provoking and shocking, darkly comic and witty'
Independent
'Dark, raw, funny and razor-sharp'
Red Magazine
'Jennette McCurdy writes sentences that glimmer and cut like razors. This novel is uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unputdownable'
Aria Aber, author of
Good Girl
'A riveting examination of lust and self-delusion. McCurdy is a fearless and darkly funny writer with an unerring eye for the perfect mortifying detail'
Tom Perrotta, author of
Election
PRAISE FOR
I'M GLAD MY MOM DIED
…
'An important cultural document just as much as a searingly personal one'
Lena Dunham
'A vivid, biting, darkly comic writer'
Vogue
'McCurdy reveals herself to be a stingingly funny and insightful writer, capable of great empathy and a brutal punchline'
Time
'A coming-of-age story that is alternately harrowing and funny'
The New York Times
'A magnum opus. Sharply funny and empathetic'
The Washington Post
'The publishing sensation.'
Guardian
