Review:

"A beautiful writer with equal megadoses of heart and heat, Sohn has produced a perfectly pitched tale of love, lust and the mysterious, comical verities that forever link -- and separate -- the two."
-- Jerry Stahl

"Chatty, clever, and bawdy enough to be refreshingly realistic....Sohn shines as a writer who can tell a snappy story--and what that story means. By book's end she has learned (and so have we) a little about growing up, falling in love, even faith."
-- The Philadelphia Inquirer

"[A] fresh and irreverent comic voice."
-- The Boston Globe

"A comic whirlwind...the author has a sharp and playful eye."
-- The New York Times Book Review
