Reviews
"Strube captures a madcap sense of momentum and consequence that never falters or overwhelms. Each character is part of Strube's deliberately constructed card tower, the building of which, as readers anticipate its eventual fall, provides the narrative with a tremendous amount of strength and personality." -- Publishers Weekly , starred "A masterful blend of comedy and tragedy . . . The tapestry of humanity that Strube presents is richly detailed and profoundly moving." -- Quill & Quire , starred "Strube is the dark horse favourite to succeed Alice Munro as a chronicler of melancholy stories about teen girls." -- Toronto Life "I fell in love with Harriet from the first chapter. She has the most unique way of looking at the world and the book is nearly laugh-out-loud funny at parts, but in the most morbid of ways. I was so moved by Harriet's story and, even as my heart was breaking, I was so delighted to get to 'meet' her brother Irwin. This is a must read for me this year." -- Insomniac Bibliophile "Fantastic." -- The Lost Bookmark "This is one of the BEST books I have read in a very long time. . . This is one of those rare books that works much humour and lightheartedness into some really heavy subject matter in a completely appropriate and realistic way. Bravo, Cordelia Strube!" -- Lit. Wit. Wine & Dine. "Dark, funny, crushingly sad, and breathtakingly hopeful." -- Becca in Halifax "In some parts it's funny, other parts poetic, others tragic. All of it very realistic." -- A Novel Haul "The novel turns, subtly and heartbreakingly, on questions of hardship, parenting, love, and resilience. I was not prepared for how hard this book would hit me. . . This book is one of the most human stories I've ever read." -- A Bookish Type, "This is one of the BEST books I have read in a very long time...

The writing, on a line-by-line basis, serves as a reminder that Strube is one of Canada's more expressive and creative prose stylists. It is, at heart, a uniquely intimate exploration of the perilous fragility of the human body, and the indomitable strength of the human soul." -- Toronto Star "Strube is the dark horse favourite to succeed Alice Munro as a chronicler of melancholy stories about teen girls." -- Toronto Life "A masterful blend of comedy and tragedy . . .

I give this story a solid 4 out of 5 stars because I loved it and I know you will, too." -- Nimrod Street, "It's this sassy voice and not really like an 11-year-old would actually speak but it completely works. What is so beautiful about this story is that -- at its heart -- it's a story about the relationship between siblings." -- CBC Radio's Day 6 "Should I Read It", "A masterful blend of comedy and tragedy . . .
