‘Darkly funny’ HEAT

‘A wise, funny, compassionate family drama, full of irresistible surprises, witty conversations, and necessary emotional truths’ JAMI ATTENBERG, author of The Middlesteins

‘This dysfunctional family novel has best-seller potential written all over it. You'll find it's certainly every bit as entertaining as a movie, too, and impossibly witty to boot’ ELLE, 16 Novels by Women Everyone Will Be Talking About In 2016

‘Humor and delightful irony abound in this lively first novel’ NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

‘A comedy of filial greed and affection ... Sweeney knows these people well, and she captures them in short scenes that glow with the confidence of an experienced comic writer. For all the acerbic humor that Sweeney wrings from this family’s self-absorption, she maintains a refreshing balance of tenderness ... HBO, if you’re not considering a TV version, why not?’ WASHINGTON POST

‘Glorious’ KIRKUS REVIEWS
