Saint X is hypnotic, delivering acute social commentary on everything from class and race to familial bonds and community . . . I devoured Saint X in a day.Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer, New York Times
Richly atmospheric, by turns coolly satiric and warmly romantic . . . Saint X is irresistibly suspenseful and canny.Joyce Carol Oates
