One for Sorrow, Two for Joy (2007)
Elise Juska
"Elise Juska is so good at describing people, places, and moments that you not only picture them, you feel them. A novel of heart, humor, and intelligence. One for Sorrow, Two for Joy is a true pleasure to read."
If You Follow Me (2010)

Meghan Daum
"Wonderful... It's like having a no-holds barred conversation with your smartest, funniest friend."
