Critics Review
‘Gleeful and witty, this is also a tender account of a woman gnawed by self-doubt.’ - James Smart, The Guardian. ‘Wendy skewers art school and young adulthood alike via the lens of the titular protagonist.’ - Kasia Pilat, New York Times. ‘Scott manages a rare thing: the sharpness of his satire doesn t preclude a realistic rendering of personhood, and the seeming flatness opens up, at every turn, to a depth of feeling.’- Naomi Fry, The New Yorker
