The Coast – A Halifax Independent weekly.
“Fowles’ writing is poetic yet simple, and even her frequent pop culture references are applied with a graceful, light hand… Zuber’s drawings synthesize the day-to-day minutae of Marnie’s internal world with humour, heartache and guts… Fear of Fighting is a worthy, relatable read.”
-Sue Carter Flinn
The Eye Weekly – Toronto Weekly
“Paired well with Zuber’s drawings, Fowles words are simple and elegant. She has perfectly bottled the ennui and cruel narcissism of people old enough to have bad credit but still young enough to puke outside of bars. Even if you’re comfortably past that age, Fowles’ book is worth the sobering read. After all, we’re never as far from our worst years as we think we are.”
