"A shrewd, polished comedy of manners. . . .[A] witty yet weighty tale. . . .Abbott opens windows onto all that changes and all that remains the same in love, marriage, class, race, and family life, and considers truth as both a weapon and a key to liberation."—Booklist, starred review
"An elegiac paean to New York City. . . .Elegantly written, conveying an obvious love and despair for the city and its inhabitants."--Kirkus
"An ensemble of New Yorkers swim the choppy waters of romance. Abbott weaves a delicate tapestry of love and apocalypse."
—Publishers Weekly
A "wise, funny, generous first novel . . . . [Abbott] elegantly weaves together her lovers' stories. She deftly pokes fun at what we call morality. She allows her characters to be both lovable and ugly."—New York Times
An "impressive first novel . . . Abbott's nuanced take on New York after the fall is spot-on, reminding us that love is about survival as well as loss."---People, 3-star review
