“Maggie Pouncey’s Perfect Reader is wry, vivid, loving, and exuberantly bookish. I enjoyed it tremendously.” —Meg Wolitzer “[A] wryly perceptive first novel.” —Boston Globe “Sparkling, shrewd, and at times hilarious in its parsing of family dynamics, academic competition, the solace of literature, the aggression of the blogosphere, and what it truly means to be a ‘perfect reader’ and a generous soul.” —Booklist “A novel of . . . sentence-by-sentence pleasures.” —The Columbus Dispatch “Marvelous. . . . Page for page Perfect Readeris an assured literary debut.” —BookPage “An absolutely wonderful novel that I hope every one of you who love fine fiction will read.” —Ann La Farge, Hudson Valley News “Pouncey’s debut is marked by an extraordinary blend of tact, wit, mercy, and intelligence.

An unusual coming-of-age story. An intelligent and witty debut.” —Sacramento Book Review |
