“A clear, captivating discussion of love and the conditions of romantic relationships in today’s young, urban middleclass in Norway … Our main character is constantly involved in self-evaluation, which gives the book an interesting hermetic pressure … there’s plenty of amusing social analyses … Fjellanger writes like the literary love child of Hanne Ørstavik and Geir Gulliksen. The novel offers a fine description of young lives”
Morten Langeland, Klassekampen

“We come close to Sara’s doubt, regret, jealousy, insecurity and loneliness, and the novel’s present tense adds intimacy and immediacy to this sometimes intense portrait of a woman … Sara’s doubts and insecurity is transferred to the reader herself. Together with Fjellanger’s deep understanding of the differences between the sexes and Sara’s recklessness, this makes Self Care into a far more than averagely enticing novel”
Sigmund Jensen, Stavanger Aftenblad
