“Lessard builds the atmosphere of a girls’ school unconventionally but convincingly as rivalries persist, friendships falter, and consequences deepen . . . a pleasingly macabre combination of Lauren Goff’s Matrix and The Shining (either King or Kubrick).” (Andrew Murray, subTerrain magazine)

“School for Girls is a wonderful little piece, a book of feelings and moods… it’s a joy to read… another excellent QC offering, and a fitting book to crack open on one of those cold northern nights ? just don?t read it too close to bedtime.” Tony Malone, Tony’s Reading List

?A choral piece with gothic undertones. With an impressive multiplicity of forms, this book tackles a wide variety of themes, underpinned by a strong feminist voice.? Benoît Vanbeselaere, Les Libraires

?A whole troupe of poisonous young girls, neither demonized nor deified, appearing in all the fragile ferocity of adolescence.? Laurence Perron, Lettres québécoises

?(?) dark, fraught, frightening in places. And one to read in a single sitting.? Silvia Galipeau, La Presse
