RavePittsburgh Post-GazetteWonderful ... Interesting ... In total, Castellani does a fairly incredible thing: He removes his central narrators from the action of the story and instead builds a world that remembers them and, further, can’t hide from the truths and confessions in their memory.
PositivePittsburgh Post-GazetteEngaging ... This is a book that feels, on the surface, like it’s about the fault in our literary stars but is actually ⎯ to borrow another writer’s famous phrasing ⎯ in ourselves.
