EBI’d like to call your attention to one of the books we have going on sale today. It’s a favorite of mine, and the author is well-known around the office for being one of the nicest we have.
Drinking Closer to Home is the story of siblings Anna, Portia, and Emery, who travel home after their mother’s health scare. It’s about their insane childhoods, and how they led to their sometimes-not-so-successful adulthoods. It’s about California, and growing up, and learning to love your family for who they are, not who you wish they were. It’s also really, really funny, so funny that at one point my boyfriend heard me laughing from clear across his apartment and came in to find out what was so hysterical.
Other people besides me like it, too:

Teresa’s Reading Corner
Book, Line, and Sinker
And there is evidence of Jessica’s niceness in these interviews:
Austin Chronicle
Fictionaut
And if perhaps all these accolades have convinced you, you can read the first chapter here.
Has anyone else read it? Thoughts?
