battle, in Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest."--Marie
Claire

quirky New Yorkers all... [a] lively novel. A fetching debut from
an author who knows her city, its people, and their
heart."--Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)
"D'Aprix gives each of the characters a distinct and true
personality, and she has a flair for realistic and funny
dialogue-readers will feel as though they're sitting right next to
the clan as they bicker and barter. Fans of Jonathan Tropper will
adore D'Aprix's debut."--Booklist (starred
review)
"[S]cenes both witty and tragic... that glow with the confidence of
an experienced comic writer... [Sweeney] maintains a refreshing
balance of tenderness. Rather than skewering the Plumbs to death,
she pokes them, as though probing to find the humanity beneath
their cynical crust."--Washington Post

bittersweet than the cheap stuff, but also too delicious not to
finish in one sitting."--Entertainment Weekly
"Sweeney writes like a pro."--New York Times
In her debut, Sweeney spins a fast-moving, often-humorous
narrative, and her portrait of each sibling is compassionate even
as she reveals their foibles with emotional clarity...assured,
energetic, and adroitly plotted...an engrossing narrative that
endears readers to the Plumb family for their essential
humanity."--Publishers Weekly

sharp and its heart open."--Matthew Thomas, author of We Are

to Read in March
"Frequently funny, sometimes sad and highly relatable for anyone
with a sibling or three, The Nest is a breeze to read and
hugely entertaining."--PureWow
"It's rare to find a novel as guiltily entertaining as it is
profound, but The Nest, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's
engrossing debut, is one such book."--Elle.com
Largehearted and witty, The Nest is a tender portrait of a
family who must face their past choices and the consequences of
their expected inheritance on their relationships and one
another."--Buzzfeed
This dysfunctional family novel, arriving in March, has best-seller
potential written all over it. Scenes in The Nest, which
follows four adult siblings and the inheritance shared between
them, play out cinematically... certainly every bit as entertaining
as a movie, too, and impossibly witty to boot.--Elle
