Theres Nothing Wrong With Her Reviews

Kate Weinberg writes with prose so exquisite that I kept copying bits to show people. There's Nothing Wrong With Her is so beautifully perceptive and forensically observed; she writes about the complexities of human relationships in a way that stops me in my tracks. One of those books I will read again and again -- JOJO MOYES
An almost dreamlike story of a young woman felled by an unnamed illness, and the shrunken world of neighbours and relationships around her ... Weinbergs observations about relationships are forensic and quietly devastating -- JOJO MOYES * OBSERVER Summer reading *
Wonderful ... Compelling ... Very funny -- MARINA HYDE
I sped through it. Its deep and dark and beautifull -- ESTHER FREUD
Its moving, absorbing, evocative - such a thoughtful exploration of the traps of grief and chronic illness. Beautifully conjured, with shades of The Yellow Wallpaper, but brilliantly modernised -- SARA COLLINS
Slim in size but vast in emotional impact, Kate Weinbergs novel explores the landscape of one womans life - her heart, her family, her pain and her desires. A work of dazzling bravery -- JENNY JACKSON
It's so beautiful. And so painful. And so gorgeously descriptive of a devastating chapter that so many of us just don't know or understand even, with all compassion -- SARAH JESSICA PARKER
Surreal, magical, and totally original, this beautiful novel provides a powerful insight into a world and experience that science is struggling to explain or navigate. Luminous -- SATHNAM SANGHERA
Funny and painfully true. A book of revelations. This is a beautiful capture of what it means to live with a chronic illness. The best thing you'll read this year -- KILEY REID
A really wonderful piece of work: so fresh. It encompasses so many things: a whole life - sorrows, damage, hopes -- RICHARD CURTIS
Ive never read anything like it. A brilliant mass of contradictions... Its light and dark, funny and moving, soulful and sexy, quirky and important. A delight and an education on every page -- EMMA FREUD
Long Covid is not the obvious subject for a quirky almost-romcom but Kate Weinberg pulls it off triumphantly. Touching, funny, inventive, Theres Nothing Wrong With Her is a beguiling story about illness and faith and the power of love In all its forms. I devoured it in a single greedy sitting. -- CLARE CLARK
A tender, curious, and undeniably urgent exploration of the many modern challenges to women's health and happiness. As compassionate as it is incisive, Weinberg's latest makes a persuasive case for the saving graces of our imaginative inner worlds -- M L RIO
This painfully funny novel sizzles with love and desire, isolation and loss, and the incongruous breakthroughs that take place when one has little left to lose -- ELIZABETH McKENZIE
This novel may delve into The Pit (of ill health, of grief, of despair), but it never feels less than buoyant. Weinberg has found a way to write about chronic illness and pain with great wit, creativity, and verve. I loved every page of this short novel and hated to leave its vibrant characters behind -- LAURA SIMS
Praise for The Truants: Marks Weinberg out as a natural storyteller, in the vein of Agatha Christie herself. Startling * IRISH TIMES *
With deft characterisation, plenty of mystery and twists in the tale, it had me gripped * DAILY MAIL *
As much a coming-of-age tale as a murder mystery . . . An impressive debut * THE TIMES *
Smart and exciting and funny and mysterious -- DAWN O'PORTER
Like a wickedly brilliant Donna Tartt, Agatha Christie and Liane Moriarty all mixed into one -- SCARLETT CURTIS
Weinberg's debut is a page-turning tale of love, death and betrayal on a university campus that riffs on Donna Tartt's The Secret History while exerting a subtle pull of its own * I PAPER, Books of the Year *
After surprising twists, Kate Weinberg provides a satisfying conclusion while asking the question: does a mystery lose its magic once its solved? * GUARDIAN *
Think The Secret History meets Agatha Christie * RED *
A must read for fans of mystery novels ... Cleverly written and relentlessly intriguing, The Truants is the perfect novel for inquisitive minds to escape into * MARIE CLAIRE *
In this mesmerising debut, Kate Weinberg confidently combines literary suspense and deftly executed narrative, slowly unravelling a tangled tale about first love, obsession and the boundaries of self-identity . . . A riveting read * SCOTSMAN *
This satisfying coming-of-age novel jives to a thriller-like beat. Its a debut, though you wouldn't necessarily know it from its assured tone. While Donna Tartts The Secret History is a clear influence, its Agatha Christie whose work is most explicitly referenced, stoking an ominous sense of impending calamity * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
Theres Nothing Wrong with Her is the rarest of reads: unflinchingly honest, wryly funny, and incredibly tender in the moments between. Vita and her eccentric crew are companions we could all use on our toughest days -- LEANNE TOSHIKO SIMPSON, author of Never Been Better
