What They're Saying

Critics Review

A novel as creative, brave, and pitch-perfect as its narrator … It has been a long time since I read a book that has captured me so completely, and has wowed me with its unique vision

It’s not quite enough to say that 21 Truths About Love is original, it is radical and extraordinary. I have no idea how Matthew Green made a story comprised entirely of lists feel so human but that’s exactly what this story is: honest, vulnerable, hilarious, and profoundly human

What to know about this novel: 1) It’s written entirely in lists. 2) It’s about an anxious man struggling with family and financial issues. And 3) It’s an unconventional, endearing tale of impending fatherhood - The Washington Post

A fresh, humorous exploration of what makes us vulnerable and what makes us responsible, and you can’t help but root for Daniel Mayrock even when he’s at his most mistaken. This is a love story of great pathos and beauty

A quick, light read, and an unexpected pleasure - The Seattle Times

Often moving, sometimes shocking, always entertaining, this superbly crafted work emphasises the incalculable variety of the novel form - Booklist

A clever, genre-bending portrait of a man under pressure - Kirkus Reviews

Dicks has impeccable comedic timing and touchingly renders family dynamics - Publishers Weekly
