Reception[edit]
Tell The Wolves I'm Home was received positively by critics. Sam of The Wall Street Journal called it a "tremendously moving debut novel [that imbues] June with the disarming candor of a child and the melancholy wisdom of a heart-scarred adult."[6] Writing for Paste, Carla Jean Whitley gave it an 8 out of a possible 10, calling it an "immensely satisfying tale ... offer[ing] insight into the complicated web of human emotions."[7] Samantha Nelson of The A.V Club graded it an A- and said the book "provides an earnest look at the burdens of choice and the fear of missed opportunities", but disliked the change in narratives from present-day June to future June.[8]
