“Hilarious.” — Esquire
“Who better than Caitlin Moran to bring fame down to earth with a bump?” — Helen Fielding, AARP Magazine
“Moran’s rollicking second novel characteristically combines nonstop witticisms with razor-sharp, pointed, and timely cultural critique.... Her characters are madcap and lovable but nuanced enough to feel real.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Moran’s semiautobiographical tale of a young writer finding her way in the mid-90s London rock scene pops and fizzes with the energy of those cool Britannia times—but her smart, nervy take on female selfhood and sexuality feels bracingly of now.” — Entertainment Weekly
“High-spirited and hilarious .... Half feminist comedy, half romance novel—a genre whose time has come.” — Kirkus
“Moran’s funny, female-centric writing is a treasure ... this feels just right for 2018.” — Booklist
“A rollicking fantasy...How to be Famous rewrites a familiar near-past heroically, dispensing justice and leaving a rosy, satisfied afterglow.” — The Guardian
“Glorious and life-enhancing... Funny, philosophical, and poignant in equal measure.” — Nina Stibbe, AARP Magazine
“How to Be Famous bursts open the coming-of-age drama and leaves, in its wake, a hilarious, utterly original, unabashedly feminist comedy. Just read it.” — Refinery29
“Laugh-out-loud funny, sweetly romantic and fiercly angry. Often all at once.” — London Times
“A subversive celebration of strong, smart young women.” — The Seattle Times
“Sparkly and joyous…Moran writes with a fierce and tender protectiveness of teenage girls like Johanna, who are chewed up and spat out by the glamorous adult worlds they are trying to make their way into.” — Vox
“Buckle up for the magical mystery tour that is life with Dolly Wilde…Stylewise, Ms. Moran is a breath of fresh air in the often stuffy, overly serious world of women’s fiction. Her sentences cackle with sass but also reveal the vulnerability that lies beneath many a modern woman’s confident exterior…. The heart of Ms. Moran’s feminist fairy tale, however is its celebration of woman as they are, and not how society would have them be.” — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Funny, warm, insightful… Moran has always been a gloriously acute and funny writer, and the combination of memoir and make-believe here gives her plenty of scope to exercise her considerable ability to entertain.” — Financial Times
