Critics Review
“Hendry’s debut is laugh-out-loud funny, in both the characters’ banter and Mel’s interior monologue. A perfect beach read.”–Booklist“A missing socialite! A glamorous yacht! A grief-mad protagonist! This hilarious book has f*cking everything!”–Heather Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Mormon“Erica Hendry’s voice is sparkling, quick-witted, and unapologetic about both, something sorely missing from the face of fiction today. Let’s Not Go Overboard Here is sharp as a tack; the kick you’ll get out of it will send you into orbit, but Hendry grounds you just as fast with the gut punch of honest emotions. What an enviable talent indeed.”–Alice Bell, author of Grave Expectations and Displeasure Island“This book is like if an Agatha Christie mystery had a baby with your favorite, funniest reality TV recap podcast. It’s page-turning, laugh-out-loud suspense that somehow manages to offer a tender, stunningly rendered portrait of grief and loss. I loved it.” –Olivia Muenter, USA Today bestselling author of Such a Bad Influence and Little One“This read felt like overhearing the gossip of your favourite reality show about terrible people (in the best way!). It’s truly funny and emotional. I loved following Melanie (and the group chat) through the compelling mystery that kept me guessing until the end.”–Natalie Sue, bestselling author of I Hope This Finds You Well“Side-splittingly funny, propulsive, and poignant, LET’S NOT GO OVERBOARD HERE is a big-hearted tribute to best friends, broken brains, self-acceptance, and life itself. You’ll guffaw, gasp, and be in desperate need of whatever Erica Hendry writes next. I couldn’t love this book more.”–Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines“If Below Deck and The White Lotus had a hilarious baby, it would be this razor-sharp debut.”–Jo Piazza, Bestselling author of Everyone is Lying to You“A beautifully written debut that balances humor with a tender exploration of grief. Entertaining and heartfelt. I couldn’t put this one down!”–Gloria Chao, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club
