Miss Me A Lot Of is a poetic, elliptical, and deeply moving coming-of-age novel, which extends the range of New Zealand fiction. The central character is Holly, daughter of a powerful and charismatic father and socially anxious, New Zealand-born mother. Hers is a story about the fate of beauty and attractiveness, and the tribute we pay to eros. Since You Ask is seamless and compelling.... there is a core of steel here, and a stubborn wit (comparisons have been made with Catcher in the Rye). What makes the book so persuasive is Betsy's refusal to accede entirely to the category of victim...Since You Ask is a slow-burning work that is impossible to look away from, and Wareham is a writer of undeniable talent and control. - Jolisa Gracewood, The Listener
"Like uncovering a secret, finding a good novel puts one deliciously in the know, with the accompanying thrills of disclosure. "Miss Me a Lot""Of" provides thrills galore; it is simply stunning." --Louise O'Brien, "The Dominion Post"
