Written in gorgeous prose, I'd Give Anything is a novel about the mistakes we make, and how we can confront them and move forward.
Popsugar


With her signature warmth and wisdom, [de los Santos] explores the ripple effects of that night on Ginny's life…. This story, in true de los Santos fashion, is full of hope and people who are willing to try.
Shelf Awareness


[H]eartfelt…. Thoughtful musings, engaging dialogue, and ironic wit… add to the drama. De los Santos’s seemingly light tale is full of surprises.
Publishers Weekly


[E]exquisitely luxurious, poetic writing [tells] her characters’ stories. She knows exactly where she’s going and how… to get there. The… prose will more than please those who love the thoughtful, precise language of Anne Tyler and Joshilyn Jackson.
Booklist


While there are touching moments,…the protagonists are so flatly drawn that it’s hard to feel much empathy for their dilemmas…. Obvious plot contrivances, clunky, cringeworthy descriptions… also diminish the pleasure. A flawed tale but the author’s devoted fans will devour it.
