Critics Review
‘I loved this book, filled with deliciously nutty, bite-sized vignettes that go down so easy. Like Grace Paley, Elizabeth Castellano is a master of low-key humour refracted through an eye for the absurd. Her voice is cynical without turning hopeless, comedic but never straying into satire. Pure pleasure.’ – Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Wreck‘The superb Elizabeth Castellano has written a delicious, hilarious, and completely original (fictional) memoir by an actress who has to honour a book contract from 40 years ago. And it’s a doozy. The components of a complicated life – love, family, and history, unspool in surprise, delight, heartache, and pain. I didn’t want this novel to end.’ – Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The View From Lake Como‘Like some gorgeous literary hybrid of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel meets Hacks in the best possible way … This is a brilliant, poignant, hilarious, heartbreaking, delightful ride that should not be missed.’ – Jessica Soffer, bestselling author of This Is a Love Story
