"Millet playfully skewers Los Angeles liberals while leaving their social concerns quietly intact on the page..." -- Maria Crawford - Financial Times, ‘Best summer books of 2025: Fiction’
"Although optimism is understandably in short supply, Millet delivers her doom with a generous dose of subversive humour… Millet has an excellent ear for dialogue, and her characters are endearing." -- Mia Levitin - Financial Times
"Very few writers can make the apocalypse hilarious and sentimental." -- Stuart Kelly - Scotland on Sunday
"[Millet] knows how to put a story together. How to pace drama and consummate tension, when to turn up the volume and when to leave us alone with what she’s put in motion." -- The New York Times
"All this tension, which Millet renders keenly and readably, is built and released in the face of immense and existential forces of undoing..." -- The Los Angeles Review of Books
