The way she writes now - Books - Times Online

Amanda Craig reviewed Meg Rosoff's new novel in yesterday's Times:
Just in Case is a cooler, more cerebral novel than How I Live Now, deliberately shorn of the passionate romantic ardour that made Daisy’s tale so attractive, and written in the third person not the first. It is unlikely to gain the huge popular appeal of Rosoff’s debut. Yet in describing the existential anguish of adolescence, and its unique mixture of absurdity and anger, it is a modern The Catcher in the Rye.
