First review of The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs arrives!
/The Kirkus review has posted online, and I'm thrilled to report that it's a great one.
Kirkus Reviews is a magazine of book reviews published on the first and 15th of each month. It offers a preview of books prior to their publication, as well as a short but critical review of each book.
It's an important moment in the life of a book. It's a review that booksellers, librarians, and the like pay attention to.
Of The Perfect Comeback of Caroline Jacobs, Kirkus says:
“Dicks (Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend, 2012, etc.) well balances Caroline’s caution against Polly’s pluck, Caroline’s passive-aggressiveness against Polly’s outrage, creating a believable mother-daughter relationship. As each secret comes to light, he shapes their initially fraught ties into strong friendship.
Heartwarming and often darkly humorous, this road trip for vengeance fairly cries out for filming.”
It's been a week of exciting news in our home, and this was one small but important bit.
