APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Inflected with great warmth and gentle humor, Monica McInerney’s fiction is a tribute to family, friendship, and genuine love. From start to finish, this short-story collection is a pure delight. From a hardworking caterer who finds love (and sweet revenge) at a kids’ birthday party to a flashy charity store manager who helps a group of awkward teenage girls get the last laugh at a “bad taste” party, McInerney’s charming characters get the happy endings they deserve.
