    “I LOVED this book! Coco is such a wonderful writer and the book is set in New York in what I think is the mid-aughts? Feels very indie-sleaze era but I could be wrong. I love the complex characters she creates and the complicated relationships involved. This was another book I couldn’t put down! Blue Sisters is another great book of hers, but this is my favorite!”
