PositiveBOMB\"The novel was written in haste ... The result is a nervously energetic plot that pulls you along with all the excitability and inattention to detail of youth ... Not all writers, even with extra attention to structure and characterization, can convey pure pain the way Korneliussen does, nor is it common to find a young writer capable of employing the honesty required to show the complexities of youth. In her haste to break free of the preset confines of post-colonialism, she does stumble. But where she succeeds, she soars high, inviting us into a world of blurred lines where neat resolutions are probably just new and complicated beginnings. This debut book shines with hope for the youth and literature of Greenland and for the writer herself who, like her characters, is still finding her way.\
Norah Lange Trans. by, Charlotte Whittle
PositiveBOMB...thoughtfully translated ... we are allowed a direct passageway into Lange’s observational skills and attention to stripped back yet observantly poetic language ... Lange metes out just enough mystery to ensure her readers’ loyalty ... To sit with this book is to undertake Lange’s own task of rigorous observation.
Joanna Walsh
PositiveBookforum\"Alongside the story of Joanna’s own affair, Walsh threads quotations and ideas from some of her favorite texts—a mixture of poetry, philosophy, and psychology—offering a literary investigation into the nature of human relationships ... In the end, it is not so important whether the titular break up has occurred, is occurring or will occur ... As fantasy gives way to reality, it becomes harder to keep the fire burning. Joanna is growing tired of the scant memories, but is reluctant to let go entirely, for what would that say about her.\
