This could be the breakout novel of the year.

- Now Magazine

Crocker pulls off an ending that brings the drama full circle in a way that is both unexpected and satisfying . . . Comparisons to Sally Rooney and Eileen Myles have been made, but there’s something in Crocker’s forthright descriptions of physical bodies and their functions that feels closer to the work of Ottessa Moshfegh . . . It is Crocker’s straightforward honesty and forthrightness that is most refreshing.

- Quill and Quire

All I Ask is a carefully crafted, observant novel, whose dialogue and scene composition retain an intimacy and immediacy … [Eva Crocker] writes convincingly of the intersection of the personal and the political … A deft, assured debut.

- Montreal Review of Books

Crackling, intense, and ultimately delightful … [All I Ask] is a wonderful character study and an encapsulation of a particular time and place. Plot and prose are rendered perfectly, and the ending will drive readers to scribble questions in the margins and create book clubs and discussion groups. Crocker is a writer we will be talking about for a long time.

- Newfoundland Quarterly

A wickedly funny, sexy, joyous novel, threaded through with sadness, uncertainty, and emotional risk.

There are novels that feel alive. There is no other way to describe it, because words like ‘fresh’ or ‘current’ are not enough. These novels are more than just a compelling plot or strong writing. They do more than tap into current events or debates. These novels offer access to something made animate on the page, and speak from a perspective that feels somehow deeply familiar and entirely unknown; Eva Crocker’s All I Ask is one such novel . . . Refreshing as it is tense and sensual as it is sad, All I Ask is a sharp and absorbing read.

- Miramichi Reader
