Allison Doherty“A disaster of a story in the best way. This family will stress you out but I rarely laugh out loud while reading and I did several times with this book. I loved Fleishman is in Trouble as well.”

Morgan Warren“Roxane Gay said it best: "I love a sprawling family novel full of dysfunction, a lack of self awareness among many characters, something of a mystery and an exploration of inherited trauma. This is an incredibly densely written novel, at times too dense but it’s also funny and charming and frustrating and utterly absorbing."”

Daniela“Gobbled it up. At times a little stressful to get through since it does chronicle a family’s decline. But so hilarious, sharp, and beautifully narrated!”
