Endearingly quirky . . . [a] charming, offbeat debut . . . that winningly explores the romantic choices we make. (USA Today)

Incredibly deft, utterly satisfying, a triumph of a first novel. (Melissa Bank)

Such a satisfying read . . . The relationships among her cast are complicated, fraught and tender. Her story reads sweet but real. (The Washington Post)
