Critics Review

‘India is a powerful chronicler of contemporary girlhood’s woes… if you want to really understand today’s girls, take India’s advice and go into the real world’ The Times


‘Freya India is an essential voice on Gen Z’ - Scott Galloway, bestselling author and podcast host


‘Freya India’s writing is compassionate, gripping, and deeply psychological’ - Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation

With terrific reporting, sharp analysis, and some unforgettable sentences, she explains how female insecurity has been captured, branded, and sold for profit by companies and social media platforms. If you want to understand the psychological crisis, India argues, we have to understand the economics behind it. She’s absolutely right’ - Derek Thompson, co-author of Abundance


‘Freya India is one of our sharpest, smartest young writers. A superstar in the making, her writing is the opposite of an Instagram filter - suddenly, you can see everything more clearly’ - Helen Lewis
