“The dialogues give a casual impression, the prose is rhythmic and poetic. Symbolic lead motives are established. Parts of the text have a twisted, almost surreal character. Coneheart is a smart first novel.”
Stavanger Aftenblad

“The novel succeeds very well in making lesbian love look the same as heterosexual. The jealousy is equally agonizing, the infidelity equally stumblingly near and the reunion equally wobbling. There is a normalization that shows that love is love no matter what. A sustained novel which explores love without resorting to clichés and conventions.”
5/6 stars, Trønder-avisa

“Coneheart is about being different, self-contempt and jealousy, about “wallowing around in your own shit” and about the fear of change. When Jenny dishes out aphorisms with her direct and concrete interpretation of the world around her, when she is crabby and cross, it cheers up the reader … an astoundingly well written and solidly playful debut. Jenny has her eyes fixed both on the dizzying and the down to earth, and in this way a fine, black humour arises.”
