Raves and Reviews
"An emotional and darkly comic examination of growth, loss, secrets, and lies."
– USA Today
"Julianna Baggott enjoys living on the knife edge between hilarity and heartbreak, and that makes her a writer after my own heart."
– Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
"This second novel establishes Baggott's remarkable talent for creating characters who resonate with readers."
– Library Journal (starred review)
"A charmingly messy tale of love and redemption."
– Kirkus Reviews
"Baggott employs a captivating narrative technique...the two narrators each [have] a compelling style and situation...The Miss America Family shows a pristine, innocent heart with a big, generous, optimistic message."
– The Boston Herald
"Combines the indigenous dysfunction of Phillip Roth's American Pastoral with the uninhibited disclosure of Russell Banks's Rule of the Bone. The result is a tumultuous domestic adventure with soul."
– Intelligencer Journal (Lancaster, PA)
