Delightful... Segal's writing is wise, witty and observant. Kate Saunders The Times

"Delightful. Segal's writing is wise, witty and observant." -- Kate Saunders The Times "Wonderful...witty.an astonishingly accomplished debut which will draw comparisons between Segal and Zadie Smith and Monica Ali." Stylist "An impressive debut...the struggle to achieve true adulthood, the loss of innocence and the consequences of adapting to a culture that levies certain expectations on its members, are all cleverly worked into a poised text" -- Elizabeth Buchan Sunday Times "A subtle, witty and acutely observed study of a narrow but very recognisable world." The Observer "Witty and touching... An assured and audacious debut" -- Michael Arditti Daily Mail
