&ldquo;Remarkably relatable. . . . Close&rsquo;s debut is an addictive, thoughtful, slice of life&rdquo; &mdash;Entertainment Weekly &#160; "What a delight! The young women in this hugely appealing book are charming, funny, rueful, poignant. . . . One of the freshest and most appealing new voices in fiction.&rdquo; &mdash;Ann Packer&#160; &ldquo;[Close&rsquo;s characters] grumble good-naturedly through their friends&rsquo; weddings and the births of their babies . . . with the pluck and gimlet eye of Carrie Bradshaw&rsquo;s younger, smarter sisters.&rdquo; &mdash;Vanity Fair &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll relate, but mostly you&rsquo;ll laugh as Close turns her sweet-tart wit on the dating and mating shenanigans of this tight-knit group of friends.&rdquo; &mdash;Redbook &ldquo;Close&rsquo;s witty voice . . .&#160; charts the romantic shenanigans of a bevy of New York women in their 20s, before career success or Botoxed foreheads. Dating is a phenomenon to be analyzed in improvised group therapy over cocktails.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times&#160;&ldquo;The one book that I will be recommending over and over again to all of my friends. I laughed, I cried, I nodded knowingly. . . . I can&rsquo;t remember the last time I loved a book as much as this one.&rdquo; &mdash;Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of The One That I Want &#160;&ldquo;Close straddles the line between melancholy and breeziness as she chronicles the exploits of recent college grads trying to make it in New York City . . . Hints at something deeper and truer: not just the adventure of being young, but the unmooring of it, too.&rdquo; &mdash;Entertainment Weekly&#160;&ldquo;These Girls are smart, funny and extremely engaging.&#160;You will adore them and their poignant&mdash;and&#160;often&#160;hilarious&mdash;romantic yearnings.&rdquo; &mdash;Danielle Ganek, author of The Summer We Read Gatsby&#160;&ldquo;This debut will ring bells. Wedding bells. . . . An uncanny portrait emerges of a time in life marked by too many hangovers, bad dates and bridal showers&mdash;as well as an abundance of solid friendships.&rdquo; &mdash;People&#160;&ldquo;One wickedly observed first novel, a book that revels in contemporary city life, revealing it with a knowing flourish. . . . Girls in White Dresses is very much about New York City and about the current economic downturn. It&rsquo;s about the changes that might be necessary and those that are not. It&rsquo;s about friendship and heart, and it insists that relationships, if they&rsquo;re solid enough, can withstand just about anything.&rdquo; &ndash;The Anniston Star&#160;&ldquo;[An] irresistible, pitch-perfect first novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Marie Claire&#160;&ldquo;Anyone who has seen The Sound of Music&mdash;that is, everyone&mdash;will likely recognize the title of Jennifer Close&rsquo;s Girls in White Dresses as a certain Oscar Hammerstein lyric. But given the tone and tenor of this debut novel, it shouldn&rsquo;t surprise that the reference isn&rsquo;t particularly affectionate. . . . Quite endearing.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today&#160;&ldquo;An unsentimental, frank novel about female friendship&mdash;its lifelong loyalties and unconditional love.&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of The Great Man &#160;&ldquo;Modern and funny, with original, wry observations. Close&rsquo;s debut novel will appeal to both fans of contemporary women&rsquo;s fiction with a hip vibe and readers who enjoy old-school chick lit.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&#160;&ldquo;One of the most buzzed-about reads of the summer. . . . Funny and often poignant; the tone of the book is reminiscent of Melissa Bank's popular 1999 novel The Girls&rsquo; Guide to Hunting and Fishing. . . . The vignettes of White Dresses are intricate and often absurd, yet instantly relatable.&rdquo; &mdash;Winnipeg Free Press&#160;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a pleasure to get to know the characters and be able to leave them behind, knowing they&rsquo;ll keep muddling on toward some version of happiness.&rdquo; &mdash;The Columbus Dispatch &#160;&ldquo;Girls in White Dresses is a dark, funny, intimate romp through boyfriends, first apartments, and great friendships&mdash;but beneath the surface lurks the jealousy, disappointment, and love that didn&rsquo;t quite end up the way you thought it would. Jennifer Close&rsquo;s brilliant, deadpan humor made me laugh so hard my own roommate thought I was nuts.&rdquo; &mdash;Margot Berwin, author of Hothouse Flower&#160;&ldquo;So many books aimed at 25- to 35-year-old women say they perfectly capture the angst and soaring joys of post-college life, but Girls in White Dresses truly does. Told in intersecting stories of a group of friends, Close is able to nail the complexity of the times&mdash;who to date, what job to take and what to wear to the endless weddings.&rdquo; &mdash;Metro News (Toronto)&#160;&ldquo;Reading each story feels like catching up with an old friend. . . . Although the majority of the stories are humorous, they are never mean-spirited, and the friendships Close portrays feel incredibly realistic.&rdquo; &mdash;National Post &#160;&ldquo;Is this just another fluffy piece of chick lit about 20-somethings finally finding love? Not with Close&rsquo;s wry wit and deadpan delivery, which make this debut novel a treat to read. . . . An original confection with echoes of The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing and a dollop of Sex and the City.&rdquo; &mdash;Shelf Awareness &ldquo;If Elizabeth Bennet were post-collegiate, hungover, lovelorn and living on the Upper West Side, she would definitely be rooming with the Girls in White Dresses.&#160;This debut is hilarious, warm-hearted and wise, and I couldn't put it down.&rdquo; &mdash;Holly LeCraw, author of The Swimming Pool&#160;
