'Carey's teen voice is spot on ... the dialogue crackles with authenticity and dry humour'
- Mad About Books
'Adolescence is not a period fondly remembered by many but author Anna Carey has a knack of getting the details just right.'
- Irish Independent
'Publisher O'Brien Press has a reputation for discovering talented children's authors, and this is a very good debut novel: despite the familiar territory it is fresh and original and Carey has a distinctive voice.'
- Books for Keeps
'I love books like this, and they're always a welcome break from the more serious YA I read. If you're looking for an enjoyable, angst-ridden account of a 14-year-old's life, I think you've found the right book. It's well worth a read.'
- Wonderous Reads
'I laughed and squirmed my way through The Real Rebecca, the sparkling and spookily accurate diary of a Dublin teenager. It's stonkingly good and I haven't laughed so much since reading Louise Rennison. Teenage girls (and grown-up teens) will love Rebecca'
- Sarah Webb, author of the Ask Amy Green books
