Critics Review

‘Brilliant, bright, defiant, moving, contagious. Hannah’s flame leaps from the page straight into your soul. May it spread like a brushfire. This book is the proof point that disability does not mean deficit.’ - Grace Tame


‘Hannah is here to change the world. Let’s get out of her way.’ - Zoë Foster Blake


‘A magnificent book from our very own Hannah Diviney. A deeply insightful coming of age story with a genuinely remarkable woman at its heart. I loved it. Well done Hannah!’ - Turia Pitt


‘I adored this powerful story of a disabled life, painted with all the colours that only lived experience can provide. Hannah writes with such warmth, humour, and grace, and her voice is so important.’ - Kay Kerr, author of Love & Autism


‘A brilliant, heartbreaking account of living with - and thriving in spite of - one’s disability. Witty, frank and totally fresh, Diviney’s is an often-unheard voice that will capture your imagination, while inspiring you to think more critically about the true meaning of inclusivity.’ - Jonathan Seidler, author of It’s A Shame About Ray

‘Hannah is an incredible storyteller and man, she can WRITE. Wow.’ Tanya Hennessy, author of Am I Doing This Right? and Help Self
