David Haynes “strikes out from the Waiting to Exhale formula” (Newsday) in a “hilarious” (Publishers Weekly), “consistently on-target” novel (Kirkus Reviews) about faithless boyfriends, spoiled siblings, preteen beauty queens, and Whitney Houston wannabes.
One of the [year's] smartest books. -
A wildly funny, realistic look at beauty pageants, sibling rivalry, self-esteem, and growing up...Highly recommended.
Wickedly funny...a marvelous and easy-to-read book that won't disappoint.
Haynes [has] talents as a truly comic writer and observer of pop culture.
