Hera, who is, after all, the hero of the story."
-Alexandra Chang,
The New York Times Book Review"A heartfelt debut about the joys and disasters of young adulthood."
-
People Magazine"An exceptionally funny debut . . . Perceptive and hilarious, Hera charges ahead, fully aware of the trope into which she has stumbled. Gray's prose circumvents any hint of banality; the language is too raw, too funny, too simultaneously irreverent and vulnerable."
-Jackie Thomas-Kennedy,
Minneapolis Star Tribune"
Conversations with Friends meets
Several People Are Typing."
-Michelle Hart,
Electric Literature"Gray's debut is a laugh-out-loud, messy love affair that is a refreshing take on younger women and older married men."
-
Debutiful "Woven with layers, from the love affair at its surface to the enthralling depths of what it means to be alive,
Green Dot is rich, meaningful and hilarious. With a messy narrator who you are guaranteed to love, this is the kind of story that sets itself apart."
-Isabelle McConville,
B&N Reads"
Green Dot is a sparkling debut-laugh out loud funny and achingly sad."
-Gillian Anderson, award-wining actress
"[Gray] is such a major talent. . . . so painfully and yet whoopingly witty at the same time. What a writer!"
-Nigella Lawson, author of
Nigella Express"By the time Hera finds out that Arthur is married, it's already too late-she's enamored. Gray's writing skillfully captures the passion of their early trysts. The sex scenes crackle with energy, and the chemistry between Hera and Arthur is believable and seductive. . . A breezy, heartfelt coming-of-age story for Gen Zers concerned with how to grow up without growing cold."
-Kirkus Reviews"Hera is vibrantly written, and Gray thankfully provides her narration with enough distance for self-clarity. . . . Gray's unflinching bildungsroman is great fun."
-Publishers Weekly"This book! What a gutting, funny, smart, smart, smart book it is, one that I absolutely inhaled while almost constantly emotionally bracing myself. Madeleine Gray is a hilarious, humane, and highly perceptive writer."
-Claire Lombardo,
New York Times bestselling author of
The Most Fun We Ever Had "I wolfed
Green Dot down over two nights. An incredibly funny book about a woman having an affair that's a really bad idea. Every sentence sparkles."
-Caitlin Moran,
New York Times bestselling author of
How To Be A Woman"Madeleine Gray takes a scalpel to millennial malaise, office romance, and infidelity, and the result is a brainy, gutsy, nervy-and hilarious-wonder of a novel."
-Meg Howrey, author of
They're Going to Love You
