RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewBlistering, wise, empathetic ... Mottley has brought the physicality and pain and beauty of birth and new motherhood into the light. That she has done so by way of teenage girls who have too often been shamed and shunned and told to hide themselves away makes her novel all the more vital to behold.

PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewWritten in frank, conversational language, pleasing in its familiarity but largely undifferentiated across its many points of view ... Propulsive.
