“A tragicomic exploration of the collateral damage of Alzheimer's disease... Handler gets it right from the title on out. Edie is definitely not alone. Her plight is one many readers will respond to deeply and perhaps even be soothed by... Profound yet often quite funny, keenly observed, and deeply affecting.” – Kirkus, starred review

“Handler’s Edie joins the ranks of unforgettably eccentric, intelligent women protagonists, such as the titular character in Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Eleanor Flood in Maria Semple’s Today Will Be Different.” – Booklist, starred review

“EDIE RICHTER IS NOT ALONE blossoms under the weight of Edie’s crisis. Yes, her selfishness is unpalatable at times. (An examination of whether her actions are justifiable could take up a whole other review.) But it’s also what makes her human.” – San Francisco Chronicle

“Oh how I love this book. I finished EDIE RICHTER IS NOT ALONE in one sitting, then reread it immediately. Hilariously heartbreakingly honest on every page, Rebecca Handler’s novel is that rare thing: a perfect book.” – Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less

“The gently hilarious, exquisitely observant Edie Richter narrates the experience of complicated grief with brutal accuracy. 'My body was a collection of muscles and bones and a thing I had done,' she observes, in one of many brilliantly simple sentences. This novel's deep impact belies its marvelously deft touch.” – Sarah Manguso, author of 300 Arguments

“This quick, engrossing novel brings laughter and tears.” – Publishers Weekly
