RaveThe New York Times Book Review... wildly funny and irreverent ... Nearly every sentence Kathi utters is darkly comic ... if penis jokes don’t make you crack a tiny smile, then it’s likely this novel isn’t for you ... Lane’s sentences are sometimes overdone ... He’s at his best when he allows his quirky characters to take over, especially when he describes Kathi and Charlie’s extensive travels ... Charlie’s foggy friendship with Kathi defies convention, and Lane’s writing lifts the novel far above its gossamer Hollywood setting, suffusing his portrait of Kathi with a complex sensitivity ... At the end of the novel, I felt a deep sense of grief for Carrie Fisher, who died in 2016. This story made me long for a universe in which Charlie and Kathi could be action figures themselves: icons whose sensitivity is a superpower that can save us.
