Just in Case

"When How I Live Now came out, it stunned, amazed, and won all sorts of literary awards. . . . This second novel Just In Case, shows that it was no beginner's luck. . . . Meg Rosoff is the Queen of Weird." --Los Angeles Times "What shimmers in Rosoff's novels is a very unusual and courageous confrontation with nihilism, which, like Beckett, she makes funny, rather than futile. . . . A modern Catcher in the Rye." --The Times (London)

"Rosoff examines the idea of fate through minutely observed, concatenated catastrophes and the intersection of exquisitely drawn characters. . . . Funny, ironic, magically real; stunning." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Extraordinary and original . . . this sophisticated meditation on death, madness, and sexuality is powerful and tenaciously haunting." --The Sunday Times (London)

"Intelligent, ironic, and darkly funny, makes nods to Samuel Beckett and existentialism." --Time Out

"Surreal . . . hilarious." --Cosmopolitan

"Brilliantly original." --Marie Claire
