“[Berg] is an enchanting and empathic storyteller. . . . [Her]
tender and wise novels are oases in a harsh world.”—Booklist
“Hard to put down . . . This addictive read shows anew what a
wonderful writing talent Berg is: strong characters illuminate a
tender story about what makes marriage work (or not), and how
family binds itself together despite things that pull it
apart.”—Library Journal
“The prolific Berg delivers the goods in this perceptive novel. . .
. Berg’s masterful portraits and keen insight makes for a memorable
read.”—Kirkus Reviews

imperfect way.”—Chicago Sun-Times, about The Last Time I Saw
You
“Pitch-perfect . . . [encompasses] everything you’ve ever felt, but
couldn’t put into tangible words.”—Chicago Tribune, about The Day I
