" Valentina is angry and resigned and just-so-adorably exotic, in the sense that she misses nuance and inverts English syntax ("What matters my name?")." -- PopMatters

" Role Models invites you to celebrate the kingdom as advertised on its website: a "fantasy world where anything is possible" at least if you're a boy in need of approval." -- PopMatters

" As Oskar and Eli gaze into the seeming mirrors of one another's faces, their mouths smeared with the victim's blood, their eyes soften and they look, at last, close, their fates entwined in ways they can't anticipate." -- PopMatters
