Pamela Paul also introduced the fiction title to Tina Jordan for discussion, and Dan Pfeiffer named it as one of his three favorite books of the year on Pod Save America. Other critics, such as Gilbert Cruz and John Williams, noted on The Book Review that the widely read and universally acclaimed debut provided a brilliant foundation for Orange's subsequent literary work.
