Recenzje

Named a best book of the year by TIME, Esquire, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Marie Claire, Glamor, and Bustle

Lyrical. . . . Smart and raw.
The Washington Post

Sally Rooney-esque. . . . Popkey's sentences careen breathlessly as her halting, staccato prose mirrors the churning within the narrator's mind. . . . A shrewd record of the act of unflinchingly circling these amorphous notions of pain, desire and control.
The New York Times Book Review

Masterly.
The New Yorker
 
Electrifying. . . . Shrewd and sensual, Popkey's debut carries the scintillating charge of a long-overdue girls night.
O, The Oprah Magazine

Slim but potent... has the flavor of Rachel Cusk. . . . Provocative. . . . Sure to spark conversation.
NPR
 
Formally adventurous and blisteringly current. . . . In glittering prose, Popkey illuminates the performative nature of storytelling, assessing the degree to which the stories we tell about our lives are fictions.
Esquire
 
As [the narrator] explores her own history through a shifting lens of female rivalries and friendships, the book's surface coolness begins to peel away, revealing the raw, uncommon nerve of a radically honest storyteller.
Entertainment Weekly
 
Masterfully controlled, delightfully chilly.
The Boston Globe
 
Icily intelligent. . . . Reading Topics of Conversation [is] as thrilling as being told a secret.
The San Francisco Chronicle
 
Perceptive, biting. . . . There s much to relate to and dogear in this slim book.
Real Simple
 
Bedazzling. . . . A slender volume with the power of lightning.
BookPage
 
Rich and rigorous.
Kirkus Reviews
