„Cold East is exceptional. Beautifully written and easy to read, it's a book about you and me – postSoviet hipsters. It's an intense exploration of values and the meaning of life in a modern Instagram society. I absolutely could not put it down." – Rūta Pulkauninkaitė-Macikė, CEO of hotel PACAI

„Gabija Grušaitė's novel exploded like a bomb on the Lithuanian literary scene, dragging us willy-nilly into the 21st century." – Violeta Kelertas, literary crictic, New Literature from Europe festival, New York City, 2018
