Critics Review

Rave Reviews for The Symptoms of My Insanity! “It’s a generous book, overstocked with characters and dialogue, and it should succeed in putting any reader’s problem into a wider, and funnier, perspective.”–Booklist

”[A] realistic debut … What could be tragic events for Izzy are tempered by her self-deprecating humor, plenty of female support and a chance for real romance.“–Kirkus Reviews

“Raf’s writing style is light and funny yet grounded in the often painful sensibilities of teenagers.”–VOYA

“Readers will likely appreciate a refreshing upheaval of mean-girl stereotypes.”–Publishers Weekly

“Run like the dickens … and order this bad boy right now!”–MTV’s Hollywood Crush Blog
