Pressestimmen
„Auch dieses Buch hat ein Herz. Es schlägt für Außenseiter, für jene, die sich gegen die Prognosen anderer durchsetzen. Und es hat Humor.“

GONG„›Peck & Peck‹ enthält genau jene Elemente, die ›Eine Frage der Chemie‹ so unwiderstehlich machten: einen unperfekten Protagonisten, (...) herrliche Nebenfiguren sowie Dialoge, bei denen man laut lachen muss.“
Freundin„Ab der ersten Seite hat es Bonnie Garmus auch mit ihrem zweiten Roman wieder geschafft, mich ganz und gar für ihre Geschichte einzunehmen. (…) Ein großartiges Lesevergnügen.“
BR„er ist voller authentischer Figuren, voller Herz und Humor. Ein Votum gegen Vereinheitlichung, Automatisierung und Gewinnorientierung. Und für Originalität, Kreativität – und Menschlichkeit.“
(CH) SRF 2 Kultur„Der fantastische Einfallsreichtum der Autorin, ihre Sympathie für die Pechvögel im Reich menschlicher wie tierischer Fauna (...) machen Bonnie Garmus zur legitimen Erbin effektsicherer Fabulierkünstler wie John Irving.“
