  1. 9.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Self-doubt, anxiety, loneliness, heartbreak: Leschper shares her darkest thoughts without apology, and consequently transforms admissions of vulnerability into expressions of strength

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    A remarkable first outing. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   The Guardian

  10. 7.0 |   Exclaim
