Critical Praise

"Reviewers have repeatedly praised the combination of wit and gravity that Carey brings to her writing. Can you think of other writers who tell serious stories in a comic and disarming manner?"--- The New York Times Book Review"Carey's portrait of modern ‘superwomen' is both poignant and precise. . . . [Her] wit radiates throughout this contemporary comedic saga of sibling rivalry run amok."--- Booklist"The witty writing is clear and unpretentious, and love and money are examined from a variety of viewpoints; things are seldom as simple as they seem. . . . Readers have complete access to the thoughts and feelings of both sisters, who are fully imagined."--- Library Journal"[A] wry, quirky novel . . . [Carey is] an engaging and often funny writer. . . . Her sharp descriptions of the sisters' various milieus give the novel its piquancy."--- Publishers Weekly
