Advance reviews of the book:
Booklist (Starred Review):
“Rabb leavens impossible heartbreak with surprising humor, delivered with a comedian’s timing and dark absurdity. Rabb is an exceptionally gifted writer... Readers will cherish this powerful debut.”

School Library Journal (Starred Review):
“Black humor, pitch-perfect detail, and compelling characters make this a terrific read, despite the pain that permeates every superbly written page. As Mia struggles to make sense of her mother's death and her father's illness, she also sees humor in everyday situations, and her irreverent commentary brings the story to life.”
KLIATT (Starred Review):
"The language and voice are compelling...The characters are fully formed and when the last page turns, four new and fascinating people have been born into the reader's consciousness."
Publishers Weekly:
"Anyone who has grieved the loss of a loved one will feel an immediate connection to Mia, the narrator of this intimate novel. Despite its title, this novel does not offer a 'cure' for Mia's
heartbreak. Rather, it gives readers a keenly insightful study of grief."

Kirkus Reviews:
"Told in the first person with humor and tears, Mia's voice is authentic, and her story of family tragedy and healing rings true. Touching and tender."

Margo Rabb." -- Michael Chabon
