Dollface is as intoxicating as the forbidden liquor at the heart of it. Rosen’s Chicago gangsters are vividly rendered, and the gun molls stir up at least as much trouble as their infamous men. Fans of Boardwalk Empire will love Dollface. I know I did.

Sara Gruen New York Times bestselling author of Water For Elephants

Realistic, sharp and funny, Renee Rosen perfectly captures what it’s like to be stuck on the outside longing to get in. A beautiful, poignant, and impressive debut–I didn’t want it to end.

Alyson Noel, author of Laguna Cove

Once again, Renee Rosen brings Chicago history alive in this fascinating story of Delia Spencer… A tale of tangled relationships and dubious morality, What the Lady Wants is captivating with a surprisingly contemporary twist.
