Bianca Bosker, The Huffington Post


> Inseparable from her iPhone, but apt to tire of the sites she uses it to access, Casey at once personifies why much of the technology world has become obsessed with capturing the attention of people her age, and why those efforts risk turning into expensive debacles.

**** Book Review: Jane Gardam’s Witty ‘Last Friends’ ****

Frances Itani, Washington Post


> Last friends are old friends, make no mistake. Anyone who has read previous books by British writer Jane Gardam will slide effortlessly into this novel. And anyone who has not read Gardam (she is responsible for more than 20 books) is encouraged to read “Old Filth” and “The Man in the Wooden Hat,” the first two novels of this wonderfully entertaining trilogy.
