“This whip-smart debut touches on identity, mental health, politics and love, while making you laugh the whole way through. You will cheer on Dee as she learns to fight for what’s right — and to fight for herself.”
“In this debut novel, Stefanie Leder writes to delight the senses and ignite the beat of our heart. In Dee, our earnest and charming heroine, we are reminded that sometimes what can seem naive is actually innovative and that paving one’s own path is the only path to finding love of another person and... oneself.”
“This sexy, sweeping, rollicking adventure puts our heroine not just between two love interests but in a much larger conflict—to reconcile her idealism with the ugliness she finds in the world… Though she struggles with confidence, Leder’s prose is brimming with it.”
“Written with wit, heart, and a profound sense of empathy for the world—along with a healthy dose of biting cynicism…a sparkling debut filled with memorable characters you’ll yearn to meet for coffee.”
“Romance meets roasters in this frothy bungee jump of a novel that combines undeniable attraction, caffeine, and social justice in equally delightful measures.”
“The book’s do-gooder, wanna-be revolutionary protagonist Dee is well-meaning, yet so naive we worry for her. But her inner thoughts are both hilarious and touching. I frequently found myself laughing out loud. The book was ultimately moving and profound. I can’t wait to see what writer Stefanie Leder does next. ”
Nominated for an International Thriller Writers Award
Includes Stefanie’s “Not a Dinner Party Person.”
“Stefanie Leder is perhaps the brightest candle in this menorah: her entry, “Not a Dinner Party Person,” centers on pharmaceutical sales rep Rachel, a proud sociopath whose fraught relationship with her family (“My mother? In an ideal world, the next time I see her would be at her funeral”) leads to an eventful final night of Hanukkah.””
