What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A timely interrogation of tokenism and generational wealth….will appeal to fans of Madeleine Gray (Green Dot) and Claire Lombardo, as well as viewers of The White Lotus and Bad Sisters who enjoy darkly comic takes on family, privilege and dysfunction.’ * Books+Publishing *
‘One of Australia’s sharpest, smartest and funniest satirists. Think Jane Austen transplanted to the suburbs of 21st century Melbourne. Do We Deserve This? is a knockout.’
* Sophie Cunningham, author of This Devastating Fever *‘Both a masterclass in the cloying complexities of family and a work of formidable moral intelligence, Do We Deserve This? is also an absolute rip-roaring page turner.’
* Louise Swinn *‘These siblings irritated me like they were my own family, and yet I couldn’t get enough. Hilarious and unhinged.’
* Jess Ho, author of Raised By Wolves *‘All families are uniquely f**d up, just not as hilariously as this one. A highly entertaining delight.’ * Emily Spurr *
’The Opposite of Success …was a whip-smart, sharply funny skewering of contemporary personal and professional life. The follow-up, Do We Deserve This?, is even better – funnier, more chaotic and compelling.’ * Qantas Magazine *
’[A] comic portrait of family fractures.’ * Canberra Times *
