Review:
"Tyler, a master of honey enchantment and sly social evisceration whose storytelling finesse has propelled more than 20 novels, now delivers an especially lithe and enlivening tale. . . . Tyler's bedazzling yet fathoms-deep feel-good novel is wrought with nimble humor, intricate understanding of emotions and family, place and community—and bounteous pleasure in quirkiness, discovery and renewal. . . . Ensnaring. . . . Quintessential Tyler. . . . Brilliant, charming and book-club-ready." —Booklist, starred review
"A stellar addition to Tyler's prodigious catalogue. . . . A bittersweet, hope-filled look at two quirky families that have broken apart and are trying to find their way back to one another . . . The cast of sharply drawn characters dominates in ways both reflective and raucous across a series of emotional events." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Tyler's characteristic warmth and affection for her characters are engaging as ever. . . . [They are] all vibrantly portrayed with her usual low-key gusto and bracingly dark humor. . . . Power dynamics are never simple in Tyler's portraits of marriage." —Kirkus Reviews
