Industry Reviews
"[T]he richness of the characters and the intricacies of their personal relationships make this a delightful and valuable book....Elizabeth Berg is exceptionally talented at rendering the emotional pain of love and friendships meaningful, in a natural, honest voice. She is a graceful, insightful author..."
Boston Book Review - Ellen Howards (04/19/1997)
"The adolescent internal monologue offered by Berg...is both hilarious and heartbreaking."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Patty O'Connell (03/30/1997)
"...Katie's lively narrative voice provides the novel's greatest pleasure. Its plot...is ancillary to the real story of how she grows up and surmounts her losses....It [treats] a venerable theme with freshness."
New York Times Book Review - Polly Morrice (06/15/1997)
