Reviews
Praise for The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's

* "Alkaf successfully uses the oppressive mood and ominous hauntings to convey real-life terrors, from sexual violence to societal expectations, that keep young women from being heard. A gripping, perceptive read."--Booklist (starred review)
* "Piercing observations into the teens' struggles gaining autonomy are explored alongside sensitively wrought instances of trauma and sexual violence via immersive prose."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A perceptive examination of trauma and its manifestation on women's bodies, minds, and voices."--Kirkus Reviews
