Glowing review of Just in Case at the Times.
From the Times:
Just in Case is a cooler, more cerebral novel than How I Live Now, deliberately shorn of the passionate romantic ardour that made Daisy’s tale so attractive, and written in the third person not the first. It is unlikely to gain the huge popular appeal of Rosoff’s debut. Yet in describing the existential anguish of adolescence, and its unique mixture of absurdity and anger, it is a modern The Catcher in the Rye. To my mind, Rosoff’s is the better book, written with generosity and warmth but also with an edgy, unpredictable intelligence.
There are some large-ish spoilers in the review, so beware.
