Critics Review

Ellen Bar writes about friendship with the precision of a choreographer and the tenderness of someone who understands that our earliest loves - be they romantic, platonic, artistic - never really leave our bodies. At once an unputdownable mystery and a vivid and specific portrait of ambition, grief, and the families we assemble for ourselves. A book full of intelligence, heart and forward motion. – Lena Dunham, author of Sunday Times bestseller FAMESICK
