'The voice is sharp, the plot is compelling, the jokes are funny
and sometimes startling, as the very best comedy is... Every page

wonderful prose... It made my brain do interesting, uncomfortable
things and left me questioning my beliefs about attraction, grief,
how recovery works, and a dozen other fundamental things' - Sandra
Newman, Guardian
