Review Quotes
FAN GIRLS
"Growing up, my favorite book was Girl by Blake Nelson. To this day, I'm unsure if I know anyone else who read it. I learned about this book in a teen magazine, came across it at a yard sale, and re-read it countless times. I felt like the main character was inside my head, my heart, my school; she helped inform my high school experience and comforted me within it. One of the most influential books of my life for sure." - Marie Taylor
"I'm writing all choppy because I'm reading Girl by Blake Nelson at the moment and it's hard to get out of a writing style when all you've been doing is reading it because you've been bored and your bangs could only take so much cutting." - Tavi Gevinson, The Style Rookie
"I first read Girl in excerpts in the long-defunct (sniff) Sassy magazine; I was captivated and bought the book then. I have never read a book so many times. The style is perfect and I never get tired of narrator Andrea Marr." - Cherie Yanek
