\u201cCatherine Newman sees the heartbreak and comedy of life with wisdom and unflinching compassion. The way she finds the extraordinary in the everyday is nothing short of poetry. She\u2019s a writer\u2019s writer\u2014and a human\u2019s human.\u201d\u2014New York Times\u00a0bestselling author Katherine Center<\/p>\n

\u201cA riotously funny and fiercely loyal love letter to female friendship.\u00a0The story of Edi and Ash proves that a best friend is a gift from the gods.\u00a0Newman turns her prodigious talents toward finding joy even in the friendship\u2019s final days.\u00a0I laughed while crying,\u00a0and was left revived.\u00a0Newman is a comic masterhand and a dazzling philosopher of the day-to-day.\u201d\u2014Amity Gaige, author of\u00a0Sea Wife<\/p>\n

\u201cThe funniest, most joyful book about dying\u2014and living\u2014that I have ever read.\u201d\u2014KJ Dell’Antonia, author of the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling\u00a0The Chicken Sisters<\/p>\n

For lovers of Meg Wolitzer, Maria Semple, and Jenny Offill comes this raucous, poignant celebration of life, love, and friendship at its imperfect and radiant best.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Edith and Ashley have been best friends for over forty-two years. They\u2019ve shared the mundane and the momentous together: trick or treating and binge drinking;\u00a0Gilligan\u2019s Island\u00a0reruns and REM concerts; hickeys and heartbreak; surprise Scottish wakes; marriages, infertility, and children. As Ash says, \u201cEdi\u2019s memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But now the unthinkable has happened. Edi is dying of ovarian cancer and spending her last days at a hospice near Ash, who stumbles into heartbreak surrounded by her daughters, ex(ish) husband, dear friends, a poorly chosen lover (or two), and a rotating cast of beautifully, fleetingly human hospice characters.<\/p>\n

As The Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack blasts all day long from the room next door,\u00a0Edi and Ash reminisce, hold on, and try to let go. Meanwhile,\u00a0Ash struggles with being an imperfect friend, wife, and parent\u2014with life, in other words, distilled to its heartbreaking, joyful, and comedic essence.<\/p>\n

For anyone who\u2019s ever lost a friend or had one. Get ready to laugh through your tears.<\/p>\n
