A novel I inhaled and loved...The Bombshell belongs in the category of books you really must read until the end - I was clocked by a twist I genuinely didn't see coming - and there's a lot of sultry detail to keep you engaged along the way... I dare anyone to pick up the novel without falling for - and, OK, occasionally wanting to ground - Séverine, the alluring and vain teenager at its heart * Joumana Khatib, New York Times Book Review * If a book could possess "French-Girl Style" The Bombshell would have it. Darrow Farr's debut novel is effortlessly cool: a smart, sophisticated tale of sexual and political awakening over the course of a fateful summer... Heady and reckless and dangerously fun * Violet Kupersmith, New York Times * A lush, cinematic and propulsive novel filled with sex, violence, glamor and a true revolutionary spirit. It's a towering literary achievement * Adam Johnson, Pulitzer Prize winner * An electrifying exploration of personal and political revolution, The Bombshell is a complex, unflinching portrait of youthful transformation and the dangerous allure of fame that announces Darrow Farr as an exciting new voice to watch * Gabriela Garcia, New York Times bestselling author of Of Women and Salt * What a sexy, kinetic and dazzling novel this is, full of lust for life and ideas and the fecund dreams of youth. I was completely seduced by the brio of its unlikely revolutionary hero.... An amazing, unforgettable novel * Chang-rae Lee, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of My Year Abroad * The Bombshell will explode into your psyche and keep you happily captive until the last word. Farr's complicated heroine, by turns overconfident and touchingly vulnerable, will force you to constantly reassess your convictions. I didn't want this fascinating, nuanced, beautifully drawn novel to end. * Emma Knight, New York Times bestselling author of The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus *
