"Tyler's fan base is rock-solid, but as word gets out, all fiction lovers seeking a smart, sunny novel will ask for this one. . . . [A] delectable, tightly focused, and piquant comedy. . . . Tyler is exceptionally adept at exhilarating dialogue and the nuances of relationships. . . . With every character, cat included, incisively and vividly realized, and myriad preoccupations and emotions limned with nimble wit and empathy, this is a keen delight." --Donna Seaman, Booklist
"Sweet, sharp, and satisfying. . . . Tyler's touch is as delicate, her empathy for human beings and all their quirks as evident in her 25th work of fiction as it was in her first, published an astonishing 60 years ago." --Kirkus Reviews
