LA Times Magazine

Library Journal (starred review)
Its been a long time since Ive been as charmed by a book as I was by this beautifully written, highly literate story of friendship, parenthood, and every other kind of love you can imagine. I was captivated by Janey, a narrator whose wit and generous spirit caused me to forget that she wasnt a flesh and blood personand to wish that she were.
