“Frank and funny.” —The New Yorker
“Growgirl is pretty wonderful.” —The Awl
“Donahue’s hippie-chick sensibilities don’t impair her ability to
offer droll descriptions of the foibles of the community of growers
she lived with for a year.” – Library Journal
“Everything contained within this “Fish out of water” memoir rings
true and reads fiercely and crazily entertainingly…. in
constructing a book that is both a gentle polemic and a deeply
felt, richly developed, personal memoir, Heather Donahue shows
herself to be an author with talent, skill and a unique rich
author’s voice in which she can wrap them.” – NY Journal of
Books
“wickedly funny, insightful” – Cannabis Culture
"The book is a dense and breezy read full of extraordinarily
intimate details…” – Michael Musto, Village Voice
“Her memoir is a hilarious commentary on pot culture and Hollywood
vapidity.” – Los Angeles Magazine
“Growgirl is great if you like your marijuana stories imbued with a
general sense of struggle. (And what other kind, really, exists
these days?)” – San Francisco Bay Guardian
“In her quirky, kooky year-in-the-life account, she writes
hilariously…Wry, with a nuanced distance from the events, Donahue
offers an unorthodox gardener’s take on the growing season.” –
Publishers Weekly
“An intimate look at a woman’s yearlong search for her place in the
world.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Thank God things didn't work out in Hollywood for Heather Donahue.
Otherwise, we'd never have gotten this book. Anyone who's taken a
fall will bond fiercely with Donahue's hilarious frankness about
hitting bottom. Beautifully written, full of wisdom. A terrific
read.”—Katie Crouch, author of Girls in Trucks
“Heather Donahue has a gloriously comic voice, and beguiling
self-knowledge. Growgirl will tell you how to grow pot—and how to
grow up. It’s a hilarious, rollicking, endearing memoir that’s also
friendly, wise and thoroughly addictive. I inhaled it!” —Michelle
Huneven, author of Blame
