“The book’s do-gooder, wanna-be-revolutionary protagonist Dee is well-meaning, yet so naive we worry for her. But her behavior and inner thoughts, which ring true, are both hilarious and touching. I frequently found myself laughing out loud. The book was ultimately moving and profound. I can’t wait to see what Stefanie Leder does next.” - Robin Schiff, award-winning screenwriter of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion and producer of Emily in Paris

“This whip-smart debut touches on identity, mental health, politics, and love, while making you laugh the whole way through. You will cheer on Dee as she learns to fight for what’s right—and to fight for herself.” - Rachel Bloom, co-creator/star of the CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and bestselling author of I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are

“Readers will revel in this fun, exuberant blue-ribbon excursion into ecopolitics, disillusionment, and romantic rebellion in a paradisiacal Costa Rican setting.” - Shelf Awareness (starred review)

“Leder debuts with a smart and snappy romp…With an unusual setup, a gorgeous backdrop, an earnest political message, and a memorable cast, this is sure to make a splash.” - Publishers Weekly

“Romantic, funny, and human, it was a thoroughly enjoyable ride right up to the moment I found out it was Stefanie Leder’s first novel, which I found infuriating and unfair. A first novel is not supposed to be this good!” - Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
