Funny and illuminating . . . A clever, sharp novel about proper growing up (Viv Groskop Red)
Provides . . . enlightening insights into what it is to be female and coming of age in twenty-first-century New York, but there's the warm glow of real friendship too (Daily Mail)
A sharp study of female friendship, that treacherous terrain where envy and deep fondness often go hand in hand (Observer)
Emily Gould is massively talented, just as good at devastating us with an emotional truth as she is at amusing us with a clever joke (Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep and Sisterland)
Truth-teller Emily Gould hurls her heart and mind into this hilarious, bittersweet tale (Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins)
I read Friendship with great pleasure. Emily Gould recreates with wit and insight the New York I know: a place full of fame and money that's not yours, where friends become family and lovers become ex-lovers, and the big questions about your life stay unanswered, and unanswerable, for a long time (Chad Harbach, author of The Art of Fielding)
Emily Gould is massively talented, just as good at devastating us with an emotional truth as she is at amusing us with a clever joke (Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep and American Wife)
Friendship's characters are brave, smart, wounded, stupid, petty and wise, like most of the people I know and love. Gould's humor and honesty gets us good and close to this world, and her wonderful particularity makes familiar things new again (Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask)
And the Heart Says Whatever comes by its anger and melancholy honestly, and it makes sense of much that is puzzling about our cultural moment (Jonathan Franzen, praise for And the Heart Says Whatever)
Bev Tunney and Amy Schein are best friends, but now, at thirty, they have reached a crossroads. Bev is stuck in circumstances that would have barely passed muster in her mid-twenties: temping, living in a shared house, drowning in debt. Amy is a fiercely charismatic media darling still riding the tailwinds of early success, but reality is catching up with her. And now Bev is unexpectedly pregnant.
As Amy and Bev are dragged into genuine adulthood, they are forced to contemplate the possibility that growing up might mean growing apart. They want to help each other but can't help themselves; want to make good decisions, but fall prey to their worst impulses. An encounter with an accomplished older woman, Sally, throws their problems into sharp relief. Emily Gould's dazzling novel traces the evolution of a friendship with wry sympathy, refreshing honesty and humour.
