Escoria is a talented writer who's not afraid to write her truth, even when it will scrape viciously at the souls of readers."[11] In her review for The New York Times, Elizabeth Nicholas compared the novel to Sylvia Plath, Joan Didion, and Ottessa Moshfegh, adding, "Juliet Escoria’s autofictive debut novel, Juliet the Maniac, is a worthy new entry in that pantheon of deconstruction. Told in a series of fragments spanning the teenage years in which bipolar Juliet’s life unravels, it is a narrative that insists on its own severity."[12] Bibliography
