    “Absolutely loved this novel from Maria Semple. Bad things happen but how we process and choose to grow from them has more meaning.”

    “The latest book by one of my favorite writers (Semple also wrote Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Today Will Be Different), and I just love her writing! It's so zany, smart, and hilarious that I would follow her anywhere, even on this wild ride that felt a bit disjointed at times but so fun and clever that I didn't mind one bit! I love her dialogue so much and there were many LOL moments here for me.”
