Readers cannot deny Seese's realistic, albeit poignant, portrayal of how one woman feels. Recommended. -- Library Journal The very personal style of the author makes the heroine's loneliness and sense of helplessness more immediate. -- Booklist Touching?--at times jarring... From bra-stuffing to Janis Joplin, e. e. cummings to Lenny Bruce, Neutrogena soap to the race riots in Detroit, well-chosen details give texture to the characters' lives. Kate's depression is painful but her attitude never entirely humorless, and the counterpoint between her sometimes resigned, generally cynical (but always intelligent) voice and the snappy letters from Parker keeps the pace brisk." -- Publishers Weekly -- Publishers Weekly
