Funny, smart and controversial

[A] smart update on chick lit…as bracing as a margarita in a Manhattan bar… Very funny, very sharp and very modern

Magnificent…packed with great one-liners… This is a laugh-out-loud book [with] extremely smart writing

One of the funniest debut voices of the year

[A] romping summer read… Sheer unadulterated and adulterous fun

whip-smart, pacy, and truly hilarious. The Bridget Jones’ Diary for our times, you’ll probably read it in one sitting because that’s how good it is.

A salty, lively first novel… In the fine tradition of screwball-comedy brides[,] the book’s dialogue is crackling, bawdy and modern

I started reading Sunday morning, finished Sunday afternoon, have not laughed this hard or this much at a book since Bridget Jones's Diary. It was wickedly smart, hilariously funny, sexy, clever, and stupidly accomplished for a first novel. In short, the most enjoyable read I have had in YEARS. I completely loved it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I Take You is the funniest book I've read all year. I drank four bottles of chardonnay by myself because I couldn't get to a book club fast enough. Eliza Kennedy makes infidelity sexy again!

The smartest, sexiest, funniest (like, hilarious) beach read on the shelves right now.

This is a racy, pacy, funny read.

In the first big beach read of the season, New York lawyer and bride-to-be Lily Wilder has a hard time staying faithful to her perfect fiance´—but that won’t stop this hilarious debut novel from winning you over and warming your heart.

This debut novel’s take on modern gender roles is aggressively provocative. It’s also funny and, eventually, wise.

Sparkles with candor and wit... Kennedy’s ribald story is both engaging and atypical, the perfect combination for a new voice in women’s fiction.

A whip-smart, whip-fast debut… One for the beach

Smart, pacy, and hysterically funny

This provocative debut explores whether monogamy is all it’s cracked up to be

Witty, sparkling and a dissection of monogamy and happiness... Entertaining

Here is a heroine who scores a solid ten on the sass-o-meter, and she made the whole reading experience a hoot… Guilt-free fun with this deliciously rampant romp.

The tale of men struggling to survive in a brutal landscape is told in language so sparse that whole passages are made up of monosyllabic vocabulary that is powerfully immersive. You can only guess at the influence Williams may have had on Cormac McCarthy

Williams is a versatile writer: the story of Will Andrews couldn't be more different to the tale of William Stoner – and his depiction of the behaviour of men in extreme situations is masterful

A meditative cowboy yarn with a putative ecological message, it could not be more different from Williams’s [Stoner]; it is just as good

It is a sort of Dances with Buffaloes, and one of the most tense, gripping, tragic novels I have ever read

Stoner...is a fine book but his western novel Butcher's Crossing is even better... Visceral, violent and chilling.

A novel that turns upside down the expectations of the genre—and goes to war with a century of American triumphalism, a century of regeneration through violence, a century of senseless slaughter.
