‘How To Be A French Girl is a funny and provocative look at how certain modes of femininity are packaged and sold, the function of art and the artist today and the extent to which we can ever really escape where we’re from.’

‘It invites us to consider reading neither a chore nor a pleasure, but an essential part of a fulfilling life. It is an ideal corrective to slavishly tallying up the books we’ve read on Amazon-owned Goodreads.’

‘The novel’s strongest points are in its scenes of the mundane everyday of suburban American life, imbued with a bittersweet nostalgia.’
