Penelope: A Harvard Freshman’s Hilarious Hunt for Herself

Meet Penelope O’Shaughnessy, Harvard freshman, ready to conquer campus armed with her Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights poster and party conversation modeled on Noel Coward.

Critics Review

Full of wit, insight and wonderful characters … Penelope sets the bar staggeringly high for 2013. If I read a more enjoyable book this year, I’ll be amazed - Daily Mail

· Refreshing, pleasantly absurd, highly addictive. Penelope would describe herself as awkward and forgettable. Awkward: yes. Forgettable: absolutely not - Kaui Hemmings, Author Of The Descendants

A witty coming-of-age debut - Grazia
