What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘This is the tragicomic tale of the author’s doomed relationship with an older woman and it perfectly captures the way good sex can make us throw anything under the bus – even our identities’ Lena Dunham
‘Caldwell falls under the spell of a seductive yet withdrawn older woman in this sparks-flying, gorgeously composed queer novel that’s about so much more than romantic love’ Vogue
‘Beautiful, touching, and brave’ Emily Ratajkowski, writer and model
‘You’ll devour it in one sitting’ British Vogue
‘Her prose has a reckless beauty that feels to me like magic’ Cheryl Strayed
’[Women] feels like a great late-night conversation with a friend and a bottle of wine, and it is the perfect read-in-one-sitting book of the season’ Elle
‘Women captures the agonizing luminescence of young adulthood and the people who define and destroy us. A breathless comet-book that commands an evening with your heart, and a next-day pass-along to all the women you treasure’ Bustle
‘One of the most endearing and exciting writers of a generation’ L A Review of Books
‘Heady, evocative and sensual. Caldwell’s exploration of relationships and identity blends brutal and fragile truths with great skill. A remarkable talent’ Anneliese Mackintosh
‘I’ll read anything Chloe Caldwell writes. She’s a rare bird: fearless, dark, prolific, unpretentious, and truly honest’ Elisa Albert
‘A contemporary classic of queer women’s writing’ Michelle Tea, author of Knocking Myself Up
