Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year Jessica Anya Blau's clear-eyed wit reminded me of Curtis Sittenfeld and Laurie Colwin, and, of course, Jane Austen.” “MARY JANE is that rare thing: An utterly charming, absurdly delightful novel that also makes you think deeply about the world around you. A beautifully written and life-affirming coming-of-age tale.” “This novel is an absolute delight! Mary Jane is the best friend, sister, daughter we’d all love to have. ![]() "This musical tale will take you back, make you crank up the '70s music." She keeps it light, she keeps it moving and she’s got terrific visuals… Blau’s story is so clear and bright that you can watch the movie in your mind.” “Delightful… This book works because it’s got a great protagonist… Bighearted and retro in its setting and music, this novel has the bouncy rhythm of classic television… Blau is a deft hand with comic juxtaposition and domestic fantasy. ![]()
