Reviews from early readers on Goodreads:

"Sweeping, sprawling, intense. Ambitious and brutally honest. Larks is a fascinating study in the human condition, friendship, family, and love all tied up in the beautifully descriptive prose we've come to expect from Ms. Laqueur."
—Terri Lee, author of Paper Castles and The Bootlegger's Wife

"Filled with beautiful highs and heartbreaking lows, it captivated me. It also disturbed me, charmed me, broke and fixed me. It exalted me. I’ve come to the conclusion that reading a Suanne Laqueur book is, and will always be, an involved, emotional experience. It’s not a simple pastime. If you pick up one of her books, be prepared to feel everything... Her ability to tell a story is genius. Her writing is poetic. Words spill onto her pages in sentences that make my heart clench and swell, and my eyes water."
—Robin Hill

"A magnificent read that intimately explores family, romantic love, sexual attraction, and identity."
—Lynn

"There is something so self-aware and mature about [Laqueur's] characters and stories, that it makes me want to be a part of it."
—Lisa

"One of [Laqueur's] many strengths as an author is the creation of her male characters. Alex and Javi are a testament to this strength. They are everyday men who are shaped by what life has thrown at them, damaged and hurt but wiser for the experience. They are strong but also vulnerable. Passionate and fiercely loyal and protective of their friends and family. I loved them wholeheartedly from beginning to end."
—Bozica

"I had such a difficult time putting this book down to do chores around the house and even getting back to work. I couldn't wait until my lunch or breaks. I was even sneaking time in between to read it."
—June

"Laqueur's writing is cinematic, lovely and heartrending." —Shannon
