“Fishman demonstrates a rare gift for illuminating the interior lives of women with honesty, generosity, and a whole lot of heart.” – Jillian Medoff, bestselling author of I Couldn’t Love You More and Hunger Point

“A refreshingly honest and insightful story of a woman whose questions about the direction of her life follow her from the big city to small country roads.” – Meg Donohue, author of All the Summer Girls and How to Eat A Cupcake

“A wonderful, witty, and heartfelt journey through some of life’s biggest challenges: marriage, moving, making babies and more.” – Jessica Blau, author of Wonder Bread Summer and Drinking Closer to Home

Publisher’s Weekly:

Booklist:

Sarah is a relatable mess, Josh is a dream husband, and the supporting characters are mostly a hoot…a charming story. – Susan Maguire

“This is a good book about female identity, relationships, independence, and interconnectedness.  I really loved it, and would recommend it to readers fond of books focusing on female characters which out being overt chick lit.  This should be on a lot of summer reading lists.” – Tiffany’s Bookshelf
