Critics Review
A wry delight, excoriating and affecting in equal measure. – Clem BastowJess Ho’s People with Money is an incisive, unsettling novel about class, identity, and the invisible rules that govern how we live and work. Perfect for readers of The Coin by Yasmin Zaher and Severance by Ling Ma. I loved it. – Lauren ChaterWitty, sharp and deeply perceptive. Ho captures the complexities of modern love with rare precision. Buckle up for the ride. – Emma Pei YinThis is a story that roars unapologetically at the world, baring all of its heart, teeth and tendons. Jess is an absolute master at balancing toughness with tenderness in their prose. People With Money rips into the complexities of gender, race and class and reveals a tangle of emotion and vulnerability that lies at the core of all relationships. – Shirley Le
