"Marisa Atha's Written on the Wall is a quiet triumph—an emotionally intelligent, powerfully written novel that will resonate with readers long after the final page. It reminds us that while life may not unfold as planned, there is beauty, growth, and redemption in the rewriting."
"This novel excels in its exploration of female connection—not just friendship, but the often-unspoken solidarity between women navigating love, loss, and transformation. As their lives intersect and diverge, the women in Written on the Wall reflect back to each other the pain, resilience, and grace that come with embracing one's truth."
"What sets Written on the Wall apart is Atha's remarkable ability to write with empathy and insight. Her prose is lyrical yet grounded, creating vivid emotional landscapes without sentimentality. Each character is fully realized, their voices distinct, and their inner worlds laid bare. The narrative does not rush—nor does it try to tie up every thread too neatly. Instead, it invites readers to sit with discomfort, to reflect on longing, healing, and the sacrifices that often go unspoken."
"Marisa Atha's Written on the Wall is a deeply affecting and beautifully layered novel that weaves together the lives of four women as they face life's emotional terrain with courage, vulnerability, and grace. Told with poignant intimacy and a quiet, resonant power, this novel explores themes of motherhood, identity, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of women who dare to live fully—even when their lives veer far from the expectations they or others once held."
"Written on the Wall by Marisa Atha is an emotional, honest, and deeply relatable journey through the hearts of four women. Becka's struggle with infertility broke me, while Sara's tender moments as a mom reminded me to cherish the small things. Renee and Dena's shift from nightlife to navigating a new version of 'home' was unexpected and so real."
"Atha's writing is intimate and emotional without ever feeling overdone. This isn't just a story about women—it’s about real life: the unspoken pressures, the silent strength, and the resilience it takes to choose your own version of happiness. A beautiful read for anyone who's ever questioned their choices or found courage in change."
