Praise for Plastic Vodka Bottle Sleepover
"Plastic Vodka Bottle Sleepover is a razor-sharp meditation on loneliness in sex, under capitalism, in the face of mortality, even in the arms of those we claim to love. Not literature, philosophy, alcohol, or commodities fill the hole, and Jaroniec's triumph is that she doesn't cop to any easy solutions. This isn't a book for the winners of the world, but one that celebrates the Worst Of list, the losers, the 'kindhearted satanists and drug addicts who are not sorry.' Those who accept the world as-is with all its fucked up characters, each more gloriously doomed than the last." — Sarah Gerard, author of True Love and Carrie Carolyn Coco
"In Plastic Vodka Bottle Sleepover, Mila Jaroniec writes with a seer's wisdom and a poet's touch. Emotions are evoked in language both lovely and dangerous. I love the honesty and the beauty." — Darcey Steinke, author of This Is the Door and Suicide Blonde
"A lovely, gritty whirlwind tour of New York City’s queer woman scene…Plastic Vodka Bottle Sleepover is about being young and stupid and also too smart for your own good." — Gabe Dunn, creator of Just Between Us
“…a powerful, mature, and stirring read in the tradition of Joan Didion and Irvine Welsh but with a distinctly au courant sensibility.” — Ian Kappos, author of Crossfaded in Narnia
"This is a book that wasn't just typed, but carved into a mirror with a razor blade. An adventure of errors through a maze where the walls move and the floor does too, Plastic Vodka Bottle Sleepover pulses with vivid neon light…Mila Jaroniec is part leader of a punk rock cult, part soothsayer of substance abuse, part art slick angel, all genius." — Bud Smith, author of Mighty and Teenager
“For fans of Ali Liebegott, Michelle Tea, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha — this is a brilliant, unique and unforgettable novel on queer love, friendship and misadventure.” — Allison McCarthy
“This New York-centric queer addiction chronicle can be likened to Eileen Myles’s Chelsea Girls.” — Electric Literature
“…a speedball, a mood book that's fast and bleary, clear and true.” — The Rumpus
"Needless to say, this book is not for the squeamish.” — 3:AM Magazine
