My Fine Fellow:
Review
“A sparkling retelling of My Fair Lady set in an alternate 1830s London… readers will connect to both Penelope’s and Elijah’s desires to remain true to themselves in a world that would prefer them to stay on the margins.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Filled with delectable dishes and an inclusive cast… Weaving the original source material with relevant social commentary, Cohen creates memorable characters struggling to find their place in a prejudicial world, while alternating viewpoints add depth to the backdrop of this historical culinary treat.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Jennieke Cohen dishes up an irresistible YA historical romance with a Filipina-British heroine at its heart who breathes fresh life into this gender-flipped My Fair Lady reimagining.” — Alexa Donne, author of The Ivies and The Stars We Steal
“Cohen has done it again! Fans of My Fair Lady will eat up this delicious peek into the London elite that could have been. Glittering ballrooms, complex friendships, extravagant kitchens, and budding romance make this historical rom-com an indulgence as nuanced as it is delectable. A true treat!”– — Tobie Easton, award-winning author of the Mer Chronicles series
“A charming historical romp and fitting tribute to My Fair Lady. With pitch-perfect prose and a sly, observant voice, Jennieke Cohen serves up a spectacularly unique rom-com confection. I absolutely loved it!” — Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow
“A delightful celebration of history, heritage, and haute cuisine that pays tribute to George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion while telling an entirely original tale. I think it would leave Shaw smiling. And also very, very hungry.” — Jacqueline Firkins, author of Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things and How Not to Fall in Love
Praise for Dangerous Alliance:
“With a whimsical nod to Jane Austen and a charming pairing to root for, Dangerous Alliance brings the best of Regency romance to young adult. Perfect for fans wanting more after the credits roll on Netflix’s Bridgerton. A delight!” — Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow
“Contemporary fans of the Austen novels and their screen adaptations will relish this rousing, late Georgian romance.” — Booklist
“While Vicky takes center stage, interspersed perspectives from other characters, including those of Sherborne and his half-sister, deepen the story’s themes… Frequent references to then-popular novels and a thoughtful historical note add additional context to this spirited romp.” — Publishers Weekly
