  • "<DIV>In this robust, scruffy, elegantly plotted, and ultimately life-affirming novel, rising star Zoe Whittall presents a dazzling portrait of a generation we've rarely seen in literature - the 25-year-olds who grew up on anti-anxiety meds, text-messaging each other truncated emotional reactions, unsure of what's public and what's private. With this extraordinary novel - which offers a thrillingly detailed inside look at the work of paramedics, devastating insight into anxiety disorders, and entertaining celebrity gossip - Zoe Whittall fulfills the promise of her acclaimed first novel, <EM>Bottle Rocket Hearts,</EM> and proves herself as one of our most talented younger writers.</DIV>"
  • "Traces an unusual love triangle between a former teen idol, a big-city paramedic, and a fashionable filmmaker, all part of the generation that grew up with the War on Terror, SARS, Hurricane Katrina, and texting."@en
