“A lovely debut novel that glimmers with fine writing and notes of human insight. There's a quiet beauty to Lauren Aliza Green's work, and I am now a fan.” 

—Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful

“Intricately structured and elegantly written...a family drama that pivots between the sweeping and the intimate in seamless, wildly entertaining prose.”

—Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X

“A bouquet of a book: thoughtful, heartfelt, funny, tender, tough, and gorgeously written. It is a novel about how love won't save you, except in the ways that it does, about the pain of family life, and also its transcendent qualities. Green is a tremendous new writer.”

—Elizabeth McCracken, author of The Hero of This Book

“Lauren Aliza Green writes with a poet’s ear and an impressionist’s eye, and the result is a wise, elegiac novel that is impossible to put down even after turning the last gorgeous page.”

—Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Remember Me Like This

“Precise, amusing, and beautiful writing...I read this book and the complicated relationships within, turning the pages as fast as I could, aching to understand the impossible.”

—Hanna Halperin, author of I Could Live Here Forever

“With a remarkable cast of characters, Lauren Aliza Green creates a panoramic, suspenseful, and ultimately very moving exploration of loss and recovery. A beautiful and accomplished debut.”

—Laura Van Den Berg, author of The Third Hotel
