“One of the spring’s most intriguing debut novels, about a pair of female metalheads, begins thusly: ‘It seems like everyone I talk to wants to know two things. One is whether I’m a serial killer or a mass murderer.’” — Globe and Mail

“An incredibly honest, cogent and disturbing portrayal of what it is like to be a woman working in a male-dominated scene and art . . . Boring Girls is a bloody, vulgar, violent book that pulls no punches . . . it’s a harrowing read.” — National Post

“This one is for metal fans, who typically have strong stomachs (they eat lizards, don’t they?).” — Booklist

“A gripping psychological portrait and riveting tale of female friendship and the power of music.” — Publishers Weekly

“One of the season’s most anticipated books, Boring Girls is anything but boring.” — Owen Sound Sun-Times
