“The fantastic fourth novel [...] from [...] Quinn is a testament to women who fought for what they wanted in a time of little personal and professional autonomy [...] Clever dialogue [...] wonderfully captures the personalities, strengths, and weaknesses of [...] characters.”

— Kirkus (Starred Review), Aug 21 2017
