Critics Review

“A fabulously twisted journey of self discovery, but inside the visual extravaganza there beats a dark, human heart - Glitterati is a many-hued delight.” — Aliya Whiteley, award-winning author of The Beauty and The Loosening Skin

“Glitterati is a strange, bright wonder of a book that begins as a playful satirization of the world of couture and ends as a finely-cut lens into the habits of the modern world.”—Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth

“Fabulous! A sensory powder keg of a book that bursts with wit, poise and oh-so cutting-edge style. Literary but feather-light, this is the most elegant and charming thing you’ll read all year. It had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through.” Josh Winning, author of The Shadow Glass

“Glitterati promises to be your new obsession… a world of fashion, backstabbing, baubles, and ice cream, in which compulsive, light-as-air storytelling hints and teases at the seriously dark dystopia behind it all. I absolutely loved this book.” — Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces

“A scintillating dive into Langmead’s kaleidoscopic imagination.” — Stark Holborn, author of Ten Low

“High fashion meets dark satire in this hilarious dystopia of manners. As heart-warming as it is razor-sharp. I laughed so hard I spat out my Dom Perignon – read it before everyone else does!” — J. L Worrad, author of Pennyblade
