The New York Times named it one of the “10 Best Books of the Year.” It won the Rathbone Folio Prize 2020, the Dublin Award 2021, the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and was nominated for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, and the Booker Prize, among others. Writing in Oprah’s O. magazine, Carmen Maria Machado said, “Not since Lolita has a road trip so brilliantly captured the dark underbelly of the American dream, the gulf between its promise and reality.” Her other bestselling books include The Story of My Teeth (2015) and Tell Me How It Ends (2016).
