Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Minnie is one of the most believable teenage protagonists ever written, a complicated, contradictory child posing as a woman. Her 'Diary' is a page-turner of a very high order and a tour de force of emotional intensity and damage."
—The San Francisco Chronicle

"It's the most honest depiction of sexuality in a long, long time; as a meditation on adolescence, it picks up a literary ball that's been only fitfully carried after Salinger."
—Nerve.com

"A pitch-perfect, hauntingly beautiful, deeply empathic conjuring of female adolescence."
—Bust Magazine
