Recensioner i media

'A modern Catcher in the Rye ... written with generosity and warmth but also with an edgy, unpredictable intelligence' -- The Times 'Just in Case is brilliant. Meg Rosoff writes like a dream. Even the unbelievable was believable' -- Sally Gardner, author of I, Coriander Praise for How I Live Now: 'That rare, rare thing, a first novel with a sustained, magical and utterly fauntless voice. I knew she could persuade me to believe almost anything' -- Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 'A crunchily perfect knock-out of a debut novel' -- Guardian

    Önskar att fler upptäcker den här fantastiska boken som jag snubblade över av en slump. Jag läste den som vuxen och det fungerade utmärkt. Spännande, gripande och smart.

    Läs den, gammal som ung!
