“[...] a sharp, sweet satire. [...] Sheldon has a brilliant ear for
teenage diction, and makes comic yet convincing characters of each.
[…] Here, as in her other novels, her skill lies in her ability to
inhabit the teenage perspective, and to satirise without sneering.
[…] gripping read.”
*The Daily Telegraph*
“It opens up feminist ideas for girls in a way that is fun and
funny, while also recognising that boys can be restricted by gender
stereotypes too. […]It's a really good read, and one which opens up
ideas rather than pushing messages. Highly recommended.”
*The School Librarian*
