Editorial Reviews

"Don't Read This Book is a whimsical, fast-paced, delight; snappily written, deliciously funny and smart, and full of affection for its characters. Benjamin Gorman may be the coolest high school English teacher ever. Just reading this book taught me how to write better dialogue."

- New York Times bestseller Chelsea Cain, author of Heartsick, Mockingbird, and Gone

"At once hilarious and heartbreaking, fantastical and ripped-from-the-internet real. DO read this book, if you dare!"

-Karen Eisenbrey, author of Daughter of Magic and The Gospel According to St. Rage

"Witty, sinister, and smart as hell. ...a hot, bloody, socially conscious riot with a Black, Latinx, lesbian, atheist protagonist at the heart of it, and a book within itself that may eat your mind."

-Charles Austin Muir, author of This is a Horror Book

"Read this book twice -- once for the fantastical tale and once for the deeper observations."

-Kim Cooper Findling, author of The Sixth Storm and Day Trips from Portland

"... smart, determined, and filled with really stunning prose ... maybe one of the best books I've read!"

-Sydney Culpepper, author of Pagetown, editor of Strongly Worded Women
