Named one of Electric Literature's "42 Queer Books You Need to Read in 2024"
"Gray skillfully blends a rom-com-like breeziness with incisive, nuanced commentary on societal expectations, modern disconnection, responsibility in relationships and selfhood. . . What both Hera and this reader expect to happen in the relationship happens, but this doesn't come as a disappointment. Instead, the novel earns its way toward a satisfactory resolution for Hera, who is, after all, the hero of the story."
-Alexandra Chang, The New York Times Book Review
"A heartfelt debut about the joys and disasters of young adulthood."
-People Magazine
"An exceptionally funny debut . . . Perceptive and hilarious, Hera charges ahead, fully aware of the trope into which she has stumbled. Gray's prose circumvents any hint of banality; the language is too raw, too funny, too simultaneously irreverent and vulnerable."
-Jackie Thomas-Kennedy, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Conversations with Friends meets Several People Are Typing."
-Michelle Hart, Electric Literature
"Gray's debut is a laugh-out-loud, messy love affair that is a refreshing take on younger women and older married men."
-Debutiful
"Woven with layers, from the love affair at its surface to the enthralling depths of what it means to be alive, Green Dot is rich, meaningful and hilarious. With a messy narrator who you are guaranteed to love, this is the kind of story that sets itself apart."
-Isabelle McConville, B&N Reads
"Green Dot is a sparkling debut-laugh out loud funny and achingly sad."
-Gillian Anderson, award-wining actress
"[Gray] is such a major talent. . . . so painfully and yet whoopingly witty at the same time. What a writer!"
-Nigella Lawson, author of Nigella Express
"By the time Hera finds out that Arthur is married, it's already too late-she's enamored. Gray's writing skillfully captures the passion of their early trysts. The sex scenes crackle with energy, and the chemistry between Hera and Arthur is believable and seductive. . . A breezy, heartfelt coming-of-age story for Gen Zers concerned with how to grow up without growing cold."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Hera is vibrantly written, and Gray thankfully provides her narration with enough distance for self-clarity. . . . Gray's unflinching bildungsroman is great fun."
-Publishers Weekly
"This book! What a gutting, funny, smart, smart, smart book it is, one that I absolutely inhaled while almost constantly emotionally bracing myself. Madeleine Gray is a hilarious, humane, and highly perceptive writer."
-Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
"I wolfed Green Dot down over two nights. An incredibly funny book about a woman having an affair that's a really bad idea. Every sentence sparkles."
-Caitlin Moran, New York Times bestselling author of How To Be A Woman
"Madeleine Gray takes a scalpel to millennial malaise, office romance, and infidelity, and the result is a brainy, gutsy, nervy-and hilarious-wonder of a novel."
-Meg Howrey, author of They're Going to Love You
