"Some novels insist on being read as prescriptions for living; Oyeyemi's simply depicts a process: one splinter of a soul briefly gains control of a body, and goes out to be engulfed by the world." ―The New Yorker

"[A] magical conceit becomes a surreal, occasionally sanguinary romp as the dubious partnership of a woman's distinct identities (one for each day of the week) unravels in the shadow of conspiracy." --NPR

"Oyeyemi is such a confident writer, her details always specific and alive, that you know you're in good hands even if you're not entirely sure what material those hands are made of, where they're taking you, or how much they'll jiggle and jostle you along the way...A New New Me is thoroughly enjoyable and is very likely to reward repeat readings. I'm off to start it over again myself." --Los Angeles Times

"Screams 'commercial break out' . . . An audacious, incisive and very funny novel about self knowledge in today's tech mediated age." ― Daily Mail

"A comedy about the masks we wear, if you will, as well as an existential mystery [...] The denouement, when it finally comes, is so gloriously absurd, you can't help but salute." ― Guardian

"Any ideas of where the plot might be going will most definitely be derailed by Oyeyemi's dizzyingly funny narrative. But the story's crowning jewel is the author's ability to create seven unique voices belonging to one individual." ― New Statesman

"A brilliantly fun set-up . . . In a sense it becomes a whodunnit as told through a kaleidoscope . . . There is hardly a sentence here that won't make you smile." ― Observer
