  • “A sharply drawn portrait of lifelong friendship, Elizabeth Ames illuminates the ways our closest friends sustain us over the course of our lives.” –Celeste Ng

  • “The debut novel of the season, The Other’s Gold reads like an origin story for the women of Big Little Lies.” –Elle

  • "Exploring the sensual, visceral and horror-filled experiences of being female while never abandoning the love Ames has for her characters, The Other's Gold is smart and provocative, satisfying and unforgettable." Janet Brown for Shelf Awareness

  • “The Other’s Gold is as beautifully written and epic in scope as A Little Life, but featuring women characters.” —Elena Nicolaou for Refinery29

  • “This novel will resonate with anyone who guards an inner circle forged in dorm rooms and dining halls, but it is also, in the end, more than that.” —Chloe Schama for Vogue

  • “[The Other’s Gold is] a powerful story of the bonds we form and how, in weathering ups and downs and messiness, friends can become family. Ames’ characters are so richly developed, I felt like these women were my friends and was devastated that my time in their world eventually came to a (rewarding) end." —Kayla Webley Adler for Marie Claire

  • “This gripping story of the four secrets these women harbored throughout their lives could only be told by friends who are tightly bound together.  The Other’s Gold by Elizabeth Ames is a story I found hard to put aside.  I believe you will find it just as eye-opening as I did.” Jim McKeown for KWBU/NPR

  • “On its surface it is a story about the relationship between four college friends; going deeper it’s an exploration of human impulses, of how single actions can change everything, and how we learn to pretend. The Other’s Gold begs to be savored and shared.” Jane Darrah of Eagle Harbor Book Co.

  • “In this wonderful book about the complexities of female friendship, we meet Lainey, Ji Sun, Alice, and Margaret as they begin college. By the end of the book, you'll feel like this is your own group of friends—and you'll be just as emotionally invested.” —Liz Moody for mindbodygreen

  • “The Other’s Gold is a beautiful, relatable, and bittersweet read that examines the strength of female friendships as they evolve.” —Elizabeth Entenman for Hello Giggles
