Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times described Last Death as a "fiercely observed, fluently written book that captures the chaos and confusions of [Sonnenberg's] youth" in "sharp, crystalline prose." The New York Times review of She Matters said that Sonnenberg "demonstrates a self-awareness that is clearly hard-earned" and that the "determination to learn from the women who are close to her, to investigate where she failed and where they did, is what gives the book such resonance." Her essays have also been widely published in magazines such as Elle, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Parenting.
