Críticas:

"Spin is a fresh, sassy and compelling novel delivered with pitch-perfect humor. McKenzie's light touch with a serious topic will have readers cheering for Katie as she proves people can change."--Holly Kennedy, author of The Penny Tree, The Silver Compass and The Tin Box

"A compelling, fast-paced read."--Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"In Kate Sandford, Catherine McKenzie has created a 21st century Bridget Jones--dark and delicate, broken yet strong. SPIN is all at once comic, heart-breaking, and life-affirming."--Tish Cohen, author of Inside Out Girl and Town House

"Imagine if Bridget Jones fell into a million little pieces, flew over the cuckoo's nest, and befriended Lindsay Lohan along the way...."--Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail columnist, author of The Continuity Girl

"With Spin, Catherine McKenzie taps into both the ridiculous and sublime elements of the world her characters inhabit, and, more importantly, points out how those are often exactly the same. A thoroughly engaging debut."--David Sprague, music journalist, contributor to Variety, Village Voice, and Rolling Stone

"Catherine McKenzie, in her debut novel, ably invites the reader into the story... For readers who enjoy a light, breezy love story, this book clips along well and satisfies. Many will likely find this book enjoyable and a worthy debut effort by Catherine McKenzie."--New York Journal of Books

"McKenzie's deliciously tart sense of humor and her tough yet tender heroine are as refreshing as a perfectly mixed mimosa."--Chicago Tribune on SPIN

"The characters are easily imagined and well thought out.... Making her U.S. debut, Canadian author McKenzie introduces a modern literary heroine who will remind readers of Sophie Kinsella's "Shopaholic" protagonist: flawed but compelling....compulsively readable. "--Library Journal on SPIN

"[A] charming debut...With fresh, fast-paced storytelling and a personable, self-deprecating protagonist, McKenzie whirls a perfectly indulgent tale."--Publishers Weekly on SPIN

"[McKenzie] is a writer to watch."--Booklist on SPIN
