Praise for The Goddess Effect
​
“The Goddess Effect is a fall-on-the-floor funny, fresh, and modern take on one woman’s journey to hell and back―and by ‘hell and back,’ I mean a three-month stay in Los Angeles.”―Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and Sex and Vanity
​
“Fresh, bitingly modern, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Goddess Effect is more than a page-turner―it’s also razor-sharp commentary on the cult of wellness.” ―Andrea Bartz, bestselling author of We Were Never Here
​
​
“Sheila Yasmin Marikar’s writing is prismatic…She had me laughing in one breath, cringing in the next, only to turn on a dime and knock the wind out of me with her honesty.” ―Megan Angelo, author of Followers
“Snappy, voyeuristic, and upsettingly relevant." ―Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism and Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language
“Marikar successfully provides larger-than-life caricatures of wellness industry denizens and LA residents at large as well as an outrageous mystery waiting to be exposed.” ―Kirkus Reviews
