Book Reviews
[A]n unconventional tearjerker of a love story.... The story’s nonlinear structure, designed to mimic Anna’s disorientation, cleverly obscures a few reveals that color the reader’s perception.... A supporting cast of quirky old folks and Eve’s precocious daughter add levity to a poignant and nuanced story.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) While on the surface a sad, realistic portrayal of a heartbreaking disease, [The Things We Keep] latest is much more...a poignant testament to the immeasurable and restorative power of love. Sure to appeal to fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and Lisa Genova; book clubs will be lining up. —Jeanne Bogino, New Lebanon Lib., NY
Library Journal


[R]omance in an assisted living facility.... Perhaps Hepworth...feared this book would be too grim with Anna as the main focus. A lot happens here—too much really...but it's a definite page-turner. It's also uneven, with genuinely poignant moments brushing up against cheesy ones.
