"Impressive...Scott, winner of the AWP Prize in the Novel, renders wonderfully offbeat characters in crisp, polished prose."
   -Booklist (starred review)

"Funny and smart...in Thea and those around her Scott has created characters we believe in and wish well, characters who feel real -strange and sad and happy, like real people are."
  -Publishers Weekly (starred review, "Pick of the Week")
