This was such a beautifully wrought book about families, regret, mother/child relationships, marriage, first love, time passing, and so much more, culminating in a devastating, head spinning ending... An inspiration... Thank you Lindsay. You hath delivered us a masterpiece.

I read this stunning book in a single day, unable to put it down. It has all Melissa’s trademark humor, shot through with heartbreak, desperation, a tale of survival, grief in its many forms, and a feeling of what the F is gonna happen to this woman?!?!? I loved it. A true original.

How to Love Your Daughter

Hila Blum
Chelsea BiekerChelsea Bieker

Very Ferrante very Natalia Ginsburg to me, the sort of writing I find to be all consuming, masterful and with a current of subtle suspense. I love a story that opens with a woman standing outside looking in... This one is a favorite of this year so far and one I will return to.

I am learning so much reading this about shifting perspectives in fiction, story building through place and time, and writing about families in all their glory and heartache. It’s also smart as hell and laugh out loud funny in moments, just how I like it.

the best books ask us, require us, to sit with and feel our own pain, why that’s so important, and how great, emotionally true fiction is the expressway to that necessary emotional shroud.
