Critical Praise

"Though Crane's stories deal with serious issues - love, dishonesty, betrayal, grief, drinking, sadness-her tone displays polish, humor, and a delectable lightness. . . . The opening tale can only be described as a showstopper."

——Deirdre Donahue, USA Today

"Often hilarious. . . . Crane's heroines have been around the block a few times but still have tread on their tires and an off-key song in their hearts. . . . I haven't seen women quite like them anywhere else."

——Carol Anshaw, Chicago Tribune

"Hilariously off-kilter stories. . . . Utterly refreshing."

——John Freeman, San Francisco Chronicle

"A sparkling collection of stories about women looking for love. . . . Crane's voice is sharp and smart and wholly sympathetic."

——Karen Valby, Entertainment Weekly

"So delightful. The women in Crane's stories may be a little off-kilter (what with their rehab and their hopeless love affairs), but they're clever, original, and kind of silly about it all. Never self-indulgent or whiny. (Imagine!)""
