Praise For This Book

"A novel to get excited about." -The Guardian

"An intricately woven and deeply layered story that follows women who connect, yearn, chase their ambitions, navigate structures of existing power while claiming their own, and who write their own stories-stories that ignite their imaginations and, sometimes, look vastly different from what they first planned." -Southern Living

"This dazzling novel about embracing womanhood and ambition is a timely read." -The Chicago Review of Books

"Wolitzer tackles a litany of timely topics, from unwanted sexual advances to the underrepresentation of women in film to Gamergate-type abuse." -amNewYork
