Pressezitat
"...A highly diverting read...Ms. Nutting lands it." - New York Times"Impeccably written, full of smart cultural observations, and no small amount of wit...A very bold book." - Daily Beast
"The writing is often excellent, hilariously dark, and mean...Reading about [Celeste] was honestly disturbing and fun." - Entertainment Weekly
"It's as riveting as it is disturbing." - Vulture

"In this sly and salacious work, Nutting forces us to take a long, unflinching look at a deeply disturbed mind, and more significantly, at society's often troubling relationship with female beauty." - San Francisco Chronicle
"A work of serious ambition, both literary and moral. It's also laced with dark, sometimes savage humor and juicy riffs on consumer culture and its twin obsessions, youth and beauty." - Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Tampa is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. Alissa Nutting has written a stunning, brutal book." - Shelf Awareness
"A deliriously enjoyable, absolutely shocking book-a morality tale that tempts and taunts readers to succumb to every kind of immorality." - BOMB

"Smart and biting." - New York Journal of Books
"A brilliant commentary on sex and society." - Cosmopolitan

"TAMPA is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. I expected to be disturbed, even appalled; what I did not expect in this story of a female teacher fixated on 14-year-old boys was lyricism and black humor." - Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Awareness
