Lost On Me

Highly entertaining, thought-provoking and one of 2023's best novels yet - Strong Words

Funny and tender - Financial Times, Best Books of the Year 2023

Wild, funny and disturbing, all I ask of a book about mothers and their daughters. - Roddy Doyle, Irish Times, Best Books of 2023

Excellent ... written in a spare and precise style from the pen of a biting narrator. It would be simply impossible for a book this good to go unnoticed - Big Issue

Remarkable. A darkly funny novel of rhythm, subtlety and nuance ... a writer who deserves as wide an audience as possible - New European

Restless and sly ... intelligently spiky - The Times

I fell head over heels in love with Lost on Me. What a thrillingly original voice! Raimo writes with a tender brutality that is simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking - Monica Ali, author of Love Marriage

I adored Lost on Me. With combustive prose and oxidising wit, Veronica Raimo sets fire to the Bildungsroman. A clear-eyed comedic talent who bends the novel form to her will - Naoise Dolan

A uproariously funny portrait of an unconventional family from a writer who knows the sliver of ice in the heart as well as she knows love. This deliciously enjoyable novel is a true original and one to savour - Katherine Heiny

When the book you start reading is immediately hilarious and deeply disturbing, you know you're onto something special. Lost on Me is that book - Roddy Doyle

Is it possible, today, to completely reinvent auto-fiction? For Veronica Raimo it clearly is. Get ready to talk about this book for a long, long time - Paolo Giordano, author of The Solitude of Prime Numbers
