"For all its beady-eyed honesty, this is a story told with a fierce, exasperated love for the people and the place… lots of very funny one-liners… a hymn to those who are hanging on by their fingertips but refusing to let go."

 The Guardian

"A small town yarn of thwarted ambition, shared history and reconciliation told with a wicked back-street wit… [has] a rough and ready swagger."

Herald

"Hagan has written a love letter to her home town… an assured debut, slowly revealing the inner lives of its characters."

Scotsman

"A darkly comic portrayal of working class life, referencing benefits, drugs, education, class divide and gender… Cosmic Scallies is very funny, but the issues faced by the characters are real, particularly in our current political climate."
