Kerry Clare of Pickle Me This has a great review of Théodora Armstrong’s Welcome to Sunny Town:
“Welcome to Sunny Town is a Künstlerroman, a beautiful and tender portrait of womanhood and becoming. And while Maggie is a messy character, the narrative does not get bogged down in her boredom and ennui, as I’ve encountered (and been put off by) in other “messy girl lit,” too cool for school. Nope, Maggie dares to feel, to hope, to want, to create. And to connect, most important of all, both with the world around her, and to the reader who’s lucky enough to pick this novel up.”
