Critical Praise

"Schmais whips up a luscious, frothy tale of Gen-X love. . . . Unlike Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones, these sisters aren't over the top. They're very much the girls next door. . . . The Perfect Elizabeth is the kind of book women will read, then tuck into the shoulder bag of their closest friend or officemate."

——USA Today

"Hilarious and heartwarming."

——Cosmopolitanj

"Refreshing. . . A delightful first novel that is personal but doesn't beg for pity or inspire pathos. . . . Anyone who has ever been of two (or more) minds about something, occasionally feels small in a big world, wonders what it means to be a family, or struggled with forgiveness will enjoy this nifty little book."
