“A touching novel.”
“Berg inhabits each of [her characters] as though she’s known them since she wrote in their high school yearbooks and has kept her promise to keep in touch. . . . Berg shows that life is most beautiful in the moments that come and pass away again, a lesson often learned long after high school.”
“A five-tissue-box novel . . . Elizabeth Berg has written one of the most dramatic and beautiful books of her career, one that celebrates life to the fullest.”
“Vital connections are Berg's primary concern. Readers of her earlier novels will hear echoes in the broad themes of Never Change . . . This book is about the wisdom and closeness that crisis can bring. The narrative road that leads to them is funny, poetic, and moving.”
“A superb novel about the persistence of desire and the perils of commitment.”
“Combines romance, heartfelt emotion and cuteness. Berg’s observations on life and death ring true.”
“[A] must-read for the romantic heart that lies in all of us.”
“An engaging read that forces us to question who we are and who we want others to think we are. . . . An emotional story of memory, longing, and the confines of social roles.”
