Recenzii
“WHAT YOU’LL LOVE: Siegal’s talent for nailing the details that illuminate an era -- from the mid-’80s art boom to the late ‘90s social swirl -- makes for a transporting read.” — Washington Post
“Witty…Nina Siegal gets it right.” — Page Six, New York Post
“An absorbing tale. Siegal is a delightful writer.” — Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
“Siegal blends glamour and gutter into a delicious cocktail, equal parts behind-the-scenes dish and crime novel.” — Publishers Weekly
“A great read.” — Quick and Simple Magazine
“Siegal has subtly rejuvinated the (noir) genre.” — Brooklyn Rail Magazine
“More proof that the hardboiled novel is alive and kicking: a novel that is both thrilling to read and beautifully written. Smart, fast, funny!” — Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits and Daughter's Keeper

“An exceptionally well-written record of one woman’s quest for personal and professional identity. Siegal very skillfully dramatizes the styles of street artists, popular and classical art, and, most important of all, the bureaucratic tensions between the various departments of a major newspaper.” — James A. McPherson, winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, for the collection of short stories, Elbow Room
Great Debuts of 2008: “A combination of chick lit and crime fiction, this book transcends those genres with its sassy, witty prose and urban art-based plot.” — Rocky Mountain News
