The narrative kept me on the edge of my seat and I really couldn't predict what was going to happen next. The pace never flagged. The central characters of Camille, Sam, Emma, Marty and Jennifer are nuanced and very true-to-life. Although theirs is an unusual life lived at a hectic pace, I found myself developing real empathy for their plight and always felt that they were--despite their unusual life choices or circumstances--genuine, well-meaning and real people. The Miller clan and their acquaintances were exceptionally well drawn, alternating between petty pragmatism, shameless snobbery, greed, and a perverse noblesse oblige. I particularly enjoyed the humorous and biting portrayals of Camille's siblings. Multiple twists, fierce action, top-notch dialogue and quirky characterizations throughout." –Kirkus
