More stellar reviews for Paris Syndrome

Emily S. Cooper in The Stinging Fly:

Sweeney Byrne does not shy away; her writing is unapologetic in a way that echoes writers like Edna O’Brien and Ottessa Moshfegh.

Sarah Gilmartin in The Irish Times:

The voice is hugely self-aware, unafraid of turning her sharp light inward. As she says in one of the strongest stories in the collection, ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’, “I could sense myself becoming all wide-eyed and girly and I have always depended on the kindness of strangers-y.”

Orlagh Doherty on RTE Culture:

With each anecdote depicting different cultures, expectations and experiences, Sweeney Byrne manages to capture the optimism of someone with the world at their fingertips, yet wary about the vastness before her.
