According to Publishers Weekly's Book Life, “...Bonner’s debut is a feminist triumph that opens the pathways of consideration for how women transform over the course of their lives.” 

Of Prince of Grass, Amy Gerstler writes, “Wriggins has captured our dissociative moment's sense of overwhelm, its blitzkrieg of product placement and tech engulfment, its hailstorm of contradiction and paradox, its alienation and even its inverted longings and hopes ‘to have no faith and be proven wrong.'”
