Library Journal review

I’m thrilled with this starred review from Liz French at Library Journal. Here’s the verdict:

“In her fantastic adult debut, YA and middle grade author Benjamin (The Next Great Paulie Fink) skewers her subjects but still preserves their humanity. New York expats, middle-aged Gen-Xers, disaffected millennials, conniving school moms, exasperating children with improbable names--all get the gimlet eye in this timely, witty novel.”

Thank you, Liz French! Thank you, Library Journal! Thank you for all of it, but especially noting that I’ve tried to preserve people’s humanity on the page. That was important to me when writing it.
