from NYTBR of this book....
Peters weaves together this multifaceted cast in ways that leave the reader empathizing with each one even as they undermine one another. Her characters are so vividly drawn and human that the reader comes to feel personally close to them; and, like friends, their self-destructive or selfish behavior can be disappointing. But so too can their dark humor add levity to life’s heavier moments, as when Reese enumerates the reasons she attends funerals: to feel something, to be social and because they “remind her not to kill herself.” Peters doesn’t shy away from exposing her characters’ flaws.
