Recensione:

“When It Happens to You is absolutely lovely, a smart, emotionally sophisticated, intricately dovetailed novel of stories. World, I’m telling you now: Molly Ringwald is the real deal.” (Lauren Groff, author of Arcadia)

“Molly Ringwald understands how families work and uses her considerable talents to make them come alive on the page.” (Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story)

“These stories sizzle with rare insight about the reverberations of betrayal and of love. Ringwald wisely never judges her characters, but lets them live out their complexities on the page, flawed and endearing, recognizable and also new. When It Happens To You is an impressive fiction debut.” (Robin Black, author of If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This)

“When It Happens to You is an inventive and compelling portrait of love in the modern age.” (J. Courtney Sullivan, author of Maine)

“Molly Ringwald’s eight electric stories are alive with Joycean insight-piercing, epiphanic moments of terror, humor, and transcendence. Together they offer a deeply moving portrait of modern life.” (Eleanor Henderson, author of Ten Thousand Saints)

“[A] graceful and deft debut.” (—Booklist)

“With her assured and deftly wrought novel-in-stories . . . Ringwald plays out the all-too-familiar tragedies of adult life[. Her] stories ring with authenticity, voices so true and honest that we imagine she’s been eavesdropping on our conversations. Once again she connects us.” (—Vanity Fair)
