MixedThe Toronto Star (CAN)Mandel’s plot is complex but never obscure, as she shifts with great agility between timelines, characters and continents ... If Exit Party is a novel for our time, then, it is so in the sense of being a novel steeped in the preoccupations of its time, but of limited use in understanding our troubles ... If you’re looking to fret about what comes next from within the safety of a highly readable novel — one that you might be reading alongside a certain former president — this book will serve you well. If you’re hoping to reckon more deeply with what it means to be alive and politically responsible in our current moment, you may wish to look elsewhere.
