Review Quote

Beautifully written and very funny. . . as with Salinger and Carver, there is crystalline simplicity to Bank's prose
Other text

I read the first chapter and thought, 'Wait, I know this girl' . . . I realized she was my friend . . . she made me laugh, she made me weep, and when I closed the book at the end of the day, I knew I'd never forget her
