Industry Reviews
"Clearly, LOCAL GIRLS isn't beach reading. But coupled with the weightiness of the book's subject matter, it is a sparkling message of hope, a Hoffman-esque belief that while human turmoil is often haphazard and undeserved, love is always present...."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Courtney Weaver (08/22/1999)
"The supernatural lurks in every biscuit tin, men are untrustworthy rats and women eventually find the strength to go on. when living and dying get a little extreme, Hoffman invokes the paranormal, replacing hard questions with pretty metaphors. This is comfort literature, and she does it well--though she sometimes falls on the wrong side of the line between charming and cloying."
Literary Review - Emily Perkins (08/19/1999)
