Review
Lori Leibovitch "The New York Times Book Review" Reading Joe Coomer's new novel is like watching an entertaining sitcom -- its characters are too zany to be real, but they're irresistible nonetheless....Coomer manages to squeeze a fascinating range of human experience into one little street in Texas.
Richard Wallace
"The Seattle Times"
This is neo-Southern Gothic country, and nobody writing today does it better and funnier than Joe Coomer.
"Kirkus Reviews"
Thirty years' worth of secrets, most having to do with sex and love, are exposed in the course of one frantic day in this deftly plotted mix of comedy and romance....Coomer manages it all with a surprisingly light, often witty, touch....A sharply observant and engaging entertainment.
