"An angry teen pushes her family to the breaking point in ever-popular Green’s (Promises to Keep, 2010) new novel… Told with her trademark sensitivity and insight, Green’s latest offers everything readers expect from her: a moving story peopled with nuanced, sympathetic characters." - BOOKLIST"In her latest, Green takes a clear-eyed look at our idealized notions of love, family, and motherhood…Green is at her finest with this compelling novel. Deeper, more complicated, and more ambitious than her previous books, it will keep readers on edge as they wait to see how these tense family dynamics play out." – LIBRARY JOURNAL, Starred Review"Mr. Right can come with big-time baggage, and that is certainly the case for interior designer Andi… Already in her late 30s when she meets and falls for divorced dad Ethan, Andi wants nothing more than to start a family of her own with him… [and] his two young daughters, Sophia and Emily… Green (
Promises to Keep, 2010, etc.) ramps up the emotional stakes by presenting both Andi and Emily’s points of view." - KIRKUS"In New York Times bestseller Green’s latest (after Promises to Keep), Andi faces the difficult decision of remaining in a marriage that is being ripped apart by husband Ethan’s rebellious teen daughter, Emily. Though Andi and Emily are both highly self-involved, making it difficult to like either of them, Green finds honesty in their alternating voices." – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
