The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny

This is masterful writing and an epic; beautiful story. It’s a slow-paced, aching, intimate, sweeping 700-page book that takes its time, and so must you.

Gifted & Talented

Do I think this is a “can’t miss” book? Probably not. Was it deeply entertaining? Absolutely. If you’re looking for something funny and unserious and also heartfelt, pick this up.

Same As It Ever Was

The Most Fun We Ever Had was more of my KIND of story, but there’s no denying that Lombardo is an absolute master of character and relationship work on the page.

The Most Fun We Ever Had

The Most Fun We Ever Had is a sweeping, beautiful, crack-your-heart-open novel. It’s long, but the characters are incredible.

Long Bright River

This book is very good. Despite its length at over 450 pages, I read it in only a few sittings. The chapters are short and the narration moves quickly, and it pulls you all the way through to the end.
