REVIEWS

"This is the last episode in the Bad Girl Creek trilogy, and that's a shame . . With warm-hearted narrative and lively dialogue, Mapson has created another good curl-up-by-the-fireplace-with-a-cup-of-cocoa book."
Publishers Weekly

"[A] sweet valentine to sisterhood . . .The women's engaging tales are told in an unvarnished style with just the right dose of emotion (no big weepy moments), and it's easy to get swept up in their highs and lows."
People (three stars)

"Life goes on, and then it goes on some more. A novel may impose a beginning and an ending on the flow of events, but even a character's death doesn't mean his or her story is over. "Goodbye, Earl" is supposed to be an ending — but it's clear, after we turn the last page, that Mapson could go on writing about these people forever. . .Having devoted as many words to these characters as Tolstoy did to "Anna Karenina," Mapson may be tired of them. But her fans surely aren't."
