–Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“Compelling. . . . Cohen is a fine writer. She is introspective, and there’s a wry humor that penetrates Loose Girl.”
–The Oregonian

“Gripping. . . . That it took much painful introspection for Cohen–a licensed psychotherapist…to determine what motivated the defining ‘loose girl’ behavior of her youth, and then about ten years to summon the courage to let it assume narrative form, speaks volumes about the need for her story.”
–Kirkus Reviews  3/1

“Cohen’s training as a psychotherapist is clearly evident. She reveals an impressive analytic prowess as she exposes the damaging self-effacement that underlies the seeming assertion involved in attracting men to her and then driving them away. . . . An important look at the dynamics of female sexual power and promiscuity in general.”
Kirkus Reviews 3/15

“Cohen’s memoir is a deeply poignant, desperately sad account . . . commendably honest and frequently excruciating to read.”
