Reception

A Fine Imitation is Amber Brock's debut novel.[1] Before its release, A Fine Imitation was featured in Atlanta Magazine,[1] Harper's Bazaar,[3] and People Magazine.[4] After its release, A Fine Imitation was also featured in The Skimm.[5]

Kirkus Reviews said of the characters in the book, "Brock sketches a hazy outline of 1920s high society as seen through the eyes of a woman who would be free from its hollow promises. Somehow her main character wallows in indecision, even as circumstances allow for the possibility of personal growth and reinvention."[6]

Jo Haraf from Historical Novel Society wrote, "Brock’s introspective characters, satisfying sub-plots, and unexpected—but justified—twists elevate the novel from a period romance to a suspenseful peek inside high society’s gilded cage."[7]
