“Juicy and kooky—I loved it.” —Cat Marnell, author of How to Murder Your Life

“McDaniel has a winner with her wittily titled debut. Mr & Mrs. American Pie mixes a riotous 1969 California with a story that speaks to today’s Time’s Up movement.” —Andy Lewis, The Hollywood Reporter

“McDaniel reveals the truth behind the curtain of what makes the perfect family in 1970 America. This is a hilarious and thought-provoking satire with as much heart as bite. For fans of Maria Semple and Helen Ellis with a dash of Carl Hiaasen’s humor.” —Becky Spratford, Librarian (RA for All)

“This madcap look at an unconventional family in 1970s America is as affecting as it is acerbic...provocative, rollicking, and populated with quirky, endearing characters. This is the type of relentlessly entertaining, deeply kind novel that will appeal to fans of Maria Semple and Jami Attenberg." —Magan Szwarek, ‎Librarian (STDL)

“Driven by three unforgettable characters, Mr. & Mrs. American Pie isn’t just a fast-paced romp about an American beauty pageant—it’s a treatise on class, gender, politics, the power of perseverance, and what it means to be family.” —Sarah Nivala, Book Soup
