Reviews for THE LIST

'Vivian explodes the beauty myth in a page-turning whodunit that reveals the wars waged every day between girls and their images in mirrors.' -E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS.

'Siobhan Vivian is funny and sharp, and she nails the little details and big truths that matter.' -Maureen Johnson, Queen of Teen 2012.

Offering a well-differentiated cast of complex characters and a thoughtful focus on femininity, sisterhood, relationships, eating disorders, and what it means to be singled out, Vivian proves that beauty and ugliness aren't always a matter of appearance." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review
