"Witty and light, this is sure to be a hit with anyone wanting a queer Jo March-ish historical heroine."
--BuzzFeed"Croucher's novel is witty, well-written, and heartfelt and will intrigue those looking for writerly heroines and friends-to-lovers romance between women."
--Library Journal
"Croucher infuses this energetic Regency era friends-to-lovers sapphic romance with zany wit, joie de vivre, and a distinctive literary bent... Bookish readers who wish that Alcott's
Little Women were a bit more explicitly queer will lap this up."
--Publishers Weekly"Gleeful and unruly,
Infamous brings Gen Z zeitgeist to some seriously hilarious Regency angst. Croucher is a rare talent, with a genius for hijinks, hot messes, irrepressible characters, and turns of phrase that will stick in your mind until the end of time. Eddie's coming-of-age arc shines with insights into the wild, worthwhile work it takes to find yourself, and find love."
--Joanna Lowell, author of The Duke Undone
"This historical-ish bildungsroman with a big side of friends to lovers sapphic romance is set in the Regency period but written with a decidedly 21st century queer and feminist sensibility."
--Autostraddle
Praise for Reputation: "There's nothing prim or proper about Croucher's dazzling debut, which is so boldly, audaciously modern in its portrayal of 19th-century mean-girl culture that I kept waiting for someone to inform the heroine that on Wednesdays, they wear pink."
--BookPage (starred review) "Think of
Bridgerton crossed with
Sex Education and you have
Reputation...reminding us that the process of coming of age really hasn't changed for centuries."
--Good Housekeeping (UK) "
Reputation is the fresh, fiercely feminist, and utterly irreverent sendup of Jane Austen that I didn't know I needed."
--Martha Waters, author of To Have and to Hoax
