Product Information
From the author of the national best seller Girls in White Dresses (An "irresistible, pitch-perfect first novel." --Marie Claire): a gloriously funny new novel of sibling rivalry, thwarted expectations, and that place you return to when things go staggeringly awry: home. Weezy and Will Coffey raised their children, Martha, Claire, and Max, to be kind, smart, and independent. They gave them help with their homework, a dog, and homemade birthday cakes. It's true that Martha's a little too sensitive--she calls Claire several times a week to discuss natural disasters and local crime. And Claire has a short fuse with her sister--she becomes irate when Martha suggests that the two of them attend couples therapy. And Max, the baby and a senior in college, is a little too happy-go-lucky, though not as lucky as everyone would hope. Still, their parents did their best preparing them for the world. So why, Weezy wonders, is Martha living in her childhood bedroom after a career flameout? And why has Claire canceled her wedding and locked herself in her New York apartment? And how has Max managed to get himself into a girlfriend fiasco? A story about the ways in which we never really grow up, The Smart One is a witty, gossipy, perfectly-drawn portrait of family life.

Reviews
"I want to be friends with all of the narrators of Jennifer Close's addictive novel." -Megan Angelo, Glamour "If you're looking for the literary equivalent of HBO's Girls , then check out Jennifer Close's debut novel, Girls in White Dresses , which charts the travails of flailing twentysomethings. Her follow-up, The Smart One, feels the way Girls could circa season 6, when 'almost getting it kind of together' ceases to be cute. . . . This bighearted novel examines a generation of nonstarters with a mix of empathy and Close's signature deadpan, pathos-driven humor." -Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly "While Claire, older sister Martha, younger brother Max, and the rest of the Coffey family try to navigate the logistics of having adult children return to the previously empty next, they realize that no right answers can be found in any parenting manual. The Smart One focuses on the intersections of self-discovery, independence, and reliance in the modern family, all enlivened by Close's signature wit and warmth. Close does an admirable job of equally voicing the Coffey children, straining to reevaluate their priorities under a shared roof, and the Coffey parents, aching to provide guidance without wanting to seem heavy-handed. A touchingly tender, emotionally honest novel about shifting priorities and the nontraditional career paths so many find themselves on." -Stephanie Turza, Booklist "Close, whose first novel ( Girls in White Dresses , 2011) romped with recent college grads newly on their own, focuses here on two sisters on the cusp of 30, both torn between independent womanhood and lingering dependence on parents. . . . Martha, who has always been needy and socially off-kilter, steals the novel . . . The friction between the sisters is palpable and real. . . . The novel sings in the small moments when its women express uncomfortable truths, undercurrents of sibling resentment and parental disappointment, which usually remain unspoken. . . . Perfect for the beach or a long plane trip." - Kirkus " The Smart One is emotionally engaging and thoughtful; like Anne Tyler, Close goes straight into the heart of a group of people to show all its flawed, complicated members clearly and deftly and totally without judgment. There is not one dull moment-Close is a subtle and incisive writer who gets better with each new book." -Kate Christensen, author of The Astral From the Hardcover edition., "I want to be friends with all of the narrators of Jennifer Close's addictive novel." -Megan Angelo, Glamour "While Claire, older sister Martha, younger brother Max, and the rest of the Coffey family try to navigate the logistics of having adult children return to the previously empty next, they realize that no right answers can be found in any parenting manual.

Wit and vibrant characters make The Smart One an engaging exploration of a thoroughly modern family dynamic." -Robin Micheli, People " The Smart One has such authentic, multifaceted characters. . . . Close does a great job of creating these protagonists. They had depth, they were distinct from each other, and their motivations were believable. . . . [Close] is a strong writer, and other people will connect with the well-drawn protagonists of this novel." -Marisa Atkinson and Casey Peterson, Book Riot "If you're looking for the literary equivalent of HBO's Girls , then check out Jennifer Close's debut novel, Girls in White Dresses , which charts the travails of flailing twentysomethings.

This bighearted novel examines a generation of nonstarters with a mix of empathy and Close's signature deadpan, pathos-driven humor." -Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly "Close's gift as a writer is her spare but delicious prose and unflinching way of describing her characters." -Marissa Stapley Ponikowski, The Globe and Mail "A pleasure to read." -Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News "Close's sophomore effort (after her acclaimed and best-selling Girls in White Dresses ) is a well-written family drama in which all the characters keep moving forward, but not all the loose ends are completely and neatly tied. . . . Sure to please." -Karen Core, Library Journal "I want to be friends with all of the narrators of Jennifer Close's addictive novel." -Megan Angelo, Glamour "While Claire, older sister Martha, younger brother Max, and the rest of the Coffey family try to navigate the logistics of having adult children return to the previously empty next, they realize that no right answers can be found in any parenting manual.
