PRAISE FOR JACLYN MORIARTY ‘It is ASTONISHINGLY WONDERFUL and magical and moving and uplifting and DIFFERENT … an instant classic … It literally might be my most favourite book of all time.’ Marian Keyes‘I loved this book. Funny, heartbreaking and clever with a mystery at its heart.’ Jojo Moyes‘A brilliant, beautiful, hilarious, heartbreaking, extraordinary book. I say this without bias, only awe.’ Liane Moriarty‘A thoughtful, beautifully written, truly original, and often hilarious meditation on loss, hope, the self-help industry, and the difficulties of navigating life on earth.’ Emily St. John Mandel ‘A beautiful, lyrical curiosity of a book. It's about loss and hope, but it's deliciously funny, too, and the writing is so fantastic I found myself reading passages out loud just to savour them.’ Beth O'Leary‘Clever and magical.’ Women's Weekly ‘This unusual novel tugs at the heartstrings.’ Good Housekeeping‘Heart-warming and absorbing, you'll never want this book to end.’ Culturefly ‘A beautifully written, complex novel about growing up and coping with unresolved grief.’ heat ‘With an eye as keen for human idiosyncrasies as Miranda July's, and a sense of humor as bright and surprising as Maria Semple's, this is a novel of pure velocity.’ Publishers Weekly, starred review‘Jaclyn Moriarty writes with the most beautiful eloquence, sharp pointed observations sit alongside the tightest of warm hugs. I wanted to meander, to wander, to eke out my reading time, and yet hoover up the words and the feelings they created in one heady go.’ LoveReading
