"My favorite kind of read: warm and perceptive, smart, funny and bittersweet. Lovely." - Elizabeth Young, author of A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND

"[Eugénie Olson is] an articulate, self-possessed young writer... Even if you are past the age of binge-drinking and boys, the book is recommended for Olson's intelligent social observations, along with some fascinating glimpses into the toy business." - Boston Herald
