“Remarkable…delectable, addictive.”
— New York Times Book Review -
“As difficult to put down as a plate of pistachios. The reader starts playing the old childhood game of, ‘Just one more chapter, and I’ll turn out the light,’ only to look up and discover it’s after midnight.”
— Los Angeles Times Book Review -
“Maupin has always been a humane storyteller, and an accessible one. His life-is-good-but-sloppy soap operas are marked by solid craft, superb dialogue, and what used to be called heart.”
— Entertainment Weekly
