I loved it. Maggie Shipstead, author of"Astonish Me "and"Seating Arrangements"
"2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas "is as winning and funny as the nine year-old at its heart, and I love it for the way its protagonists turn their back on their city s cruddiness and their own losses to proclaim their happiness to be in this world. They offer wryness as the antidote to self-pity and benevolence as the antidote to isolation, and they demonstrate how even the most forsaken can turn themselves into a warm, dry house. Jim Shepard, National Book Award shortlistedauthor of"Like You d Understand, Anyway"

Sympatheticcharacters and an evocative setting combine in a story thattakes some most unexpected turns. It s thrilling to see bravery reminiscent of short story-telling translate into a novel. The denouement had me in tears, in stitches and then doing a double take at an ending that seems to come out of nowhere. Claire King, author of "The Night Rainbow"
