Lauren Grodstein

“(A) deeply affecting novel…This is a tearjerker of a story, but not a mushy one — and it provides a charming... funny portrait of a mother trying to come to terms with both her death and her legacy.”
—The National Book Review

"A meditation on love and grief . . . Lauded novelist Lauren Grodstein plunges into both beautiful and ugly emotions without hesitation."

"Stunning . . . a novel that will leave her readers sitting up, sifting the evidence in the dead of night."

—The Boston Globe

A debut novel about love, memory, and a pregnancy test.

"Sweet, honest.... compulsively readable."
--Publishers Weekly

A story collection that's alternately heartbreaking and hilarious about young New Yorkers as they slowly become the people they want to be.

Grodstein's agile prose and clever observations [make] her stand out. -- New York Times Book Review
