Reviews

"Truly brilliant... incredible dialogue and characters so real that I felt preoccupied with them when I wasn't reading. I couldn't have loved it more" —Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Romantic Comedy

"Does love conquer all? Does it now? Did it ever? These are questions Cecilia Rabess asks in her nimble, discerning debut... The ending of Everything’s Fine is one of the best I’ve read in years" ―The New York Times

"Everything's Fine poses incisive questions about love, identity, and the countless ways these things can both bruise and bolster one another. Cecilia Rabess has crafted an extraordinarily brave debut that's painfully real―but plain funny as hell, too" —Zakiya Dalila Harris, bestselling author of The Other Black Girl
