Critic Reviews

I read this when I was about sixteen and remember its menace. It is about the potential toxicity in female friendships, which is a contentious issue. Atwood is never pigeonholed, she's wry and has a poet's eye
A brilliant, three-dimensional mosaic . . . the story of Elaine's childhood is so real and heartbreaking you want to stand up in your seat and cheer
All stars

This took me through a range of emotions. It's written about real life issues. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. It was well read.

So relatable
