"This arch anti-memoir of life as an artist is both comic and fascinating." The Irish Times
"A brilliantly experimental, funny and angry memoir about art, class and more." Jen Calleja "Witty, smart and original, she is a multiplicity of selves and practices like light refracted through a prism [...] This book is the work of art." Trish Lyons
"A revelatory and exhilarating memoir [...] gleefully subverting the form." The Glasgow Review of Books
"A wry, unsparing weave of formative episodes and structural ironies [...] This unvarnished world is marbled through with brilliance and shit." Sally O’Reilly
"Finlay's life never merges into a pleasing whole and happily fails to do so [...] Yet, in whatever dire conditions, Finlay masters this rare quality of glamour." Berlin Art Link
"Thank you for saving my life." Daisy Lafarge
"Writing that turns with the unexpected sharpness that living demands [... and] scattered observations of wit and quiet beauty." The Arts Desk
"Real insights into the pitfalls of the 'art economy' versus the forbearance of an evolving identity and aesthetic ... This must have been fun to write." Jack Skelley
"Brilliant, funny, and despairing." Sinead Gleeson
"Fast and funny confessional (perhaps) of the contemporary creative life [...] and did I say, great comic timing. Love it." Tony White
"An extremely dry kind of deadpan smart and funny which I immediately warmed to ... 10/10 highly recommend if you’ve ever thought you should probably move to Berlin, or if you think the idea of moving to Berlin is not for the likes of you" Jon McGregor
