Recenzii
"Prepare
to
have
your
heart
broken
while
laughing
out
loud
at
this
breathtaking,
scathingly
sardonic
novel.
From
her
opening
line--"Two
days
before
Hannah's
father
disappeared,
he
took
her
out
in
his
boat"--Crouch
grabs
you
and
never
lets
go....
Crouch
renders
San
Franciscans
in
caustic
living
color...
When
Hannah
goes
home
to
Charleston
to
dry
out
and
try
to
find
her
father,
Crouch
brings
her
eccentric
Southern
kinfolk
to
life
with
equal
verve.
In
the
hands
of
a
less
adept
author,
this
tightly
wound
tale
of
one
woman's
unraveling
and
redemption
might
seem
more
grim
than
guffaw-worthy.
But
with
Crouch
in
charge,
the
reader
is
assured
of
a
reflective
yet
riotous
ride."
Four

Maran,People
"[an] indulgent chick-lit read"—Marie Claire
"riveting.... dive right in."—Complete Woman
"[A] hot read for a hot day.... In this arresting and often very funny tale, Crouch, best-selling author ofGirls in Trucks, makes a case for the redemptive power of uncompromising loyalty and love."—Coastal Living
"Self-sabotaging heroines have made for amusing reading since Jane Austen, and Katie Crouch is as good at them as she is at titles.... Who can resist a local accent 'so complex it allows a woman to simultaneously seduce and reprimand in one single word'? Crouch's comic timing is a treat, as is her eye for minor details, like Palmer's damaged rescue dog, who can't bark but merely whispers 'oof.'"—Tricia Springstubb,The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Crouch's prose is crisp and full of engaging details."—Pam Kelley,The Charlotte Observer
"as in her best-sellingGirls in Trucks,[Crouch] writes with a dark, twisty, but approachable Southern charm."—Andrea Griffith,Library Journal
