"Organic and well earned."--The Horn Book
"This novel is a good read-alike for John Green fans."--VOYA
"Wallach (author of We All Looked Up) delivers well-rounded, witty characters--all contemplating whether living a full life is better than living a long one. Bittersweet moments intersect with the intricate fairy tales Parker writes, compelling readers to judge what is real and what is make-believe."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
"Jaded young readers and romantics alike will fall hard for Tommy Wallach's (author of We All Looked Up) underachieving writer of fairy tales and out-of-time wise woman as they tumble through a delirious three days of skinny dipping, drinking Champagne in a limo and rampant philosophizing. Cleverly but unobtrusively framed as a college application essay, Thanks for the Trouble plays with love, hubris and the youthful belief that more is always better."--Shelf Awareness
