Industry praise:

"Very rarely have I come across a book as riveting and thoroughly engaging as Steven Bernstein's GRQ. The characters are so vivid and compelling that it wouldn't surprise me at all if I were to encounter them in real life. An absolute must-read."

Gale Anne Hurd, Producer, TERMINATOR, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, THE WALKING DEAD and ALIENS

"GRQ by Steven Bernstein is a pulsating, psychological thriller. I loved it."

Keith McNally, New York Times bestselling author.

"I loved it: it feels like a dreamlike odyssey. A book perfectly suited for our era - a world where financial gain overshadows everything else, reminiscent of The Wolf of Wall Street. The short chapters and vignettes hit you at breakneck speed; you feel like you're watching someone unravel before your very eyes. A truly compelling read."

Tom Walker, Actor (Jonathan Pie)

"This little book of wisdom is an iChing for the mid 2020s... A brilliant evisceration of debt and delusion."

JP Maxwell, author

Reviews:

"Reading this book was like listening to a charming con man talk circles around the truth while you laugh and cringe in equal measure. The narrator's voice is hypnotic. It's funny, fast-talking, and flawed. Behind all the posturing and bluster, there's a real ache about failure, about loneliness, about the longing to be seen and believed. It's raw. It's painful. It's hilarious. It's frustrating. And most of all, it feels true."

Literary Titan (5 stars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Bernstein builds this sneaky domestic thriller with addictive, vignette-like chapters narrated by voices that alternate between self-justification and raw emotion. Bernstein's strength lies in how he seamlessly layers humor, suspense, and sorrow. On one page, we're laughing at Marlon's ridiculous schemes. On the next, the ground shakes - literally, as Los Angeles is rocked by earthquakes, and figuratively, as the family fractures under pressure."

"Gritty, morally ambiguous, and uncomfortably plausible. A sharp cautionary tale about the seductive danger of easy money and the personal reckonings it can never truly erase."

Reader Reviews:

"I just want to share every little snippet from this book. I've never read anything quite like it - hilarious, sharp, and a total warning shot all at once. The storytelling and writing style are out of this world. Fabulous."

BookGirlBrown Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Bernstein nails the desperation and hope that drive people to gamble for success, and he wraps it all in sharp, fast-paced writing that makes you laugh out loud while you're cringing. I had a blast reading it.
