“Lender’s enlightening, beautifully plotted novel dives deep into the notion of having it all while playing with the shallow notions of the American dream.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Debut novelist Lender sharply portrays the corrupt privilege of upper-middle-class suburbanites, and with a twist of her pen, the Stepford Wives take the upper hand over their husbands . . . The climactic explosion takes everyone by surprise. A bracingly tart portrait of suburban hell.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Lender’s debut novel is positively irresistible. It’s hilarious and insightful and just the type of book any city girl needs to tote to her vacation rental this summer . . . even with three kids in tow.”
—Daytime Confidential
“Looking for a good book to read poolside? Stacey Lender’s debut novel is just the book for a summer read . . . Humorous and light hearted.”
—Just A BX Mom
“City Mouse is a sharp and sophisticated novel of suburban life with a narrative voice that is equal parts witty, observant, and vulnerable. A wonderful debut!”
—Susan Isaacs, New York Times best-selling author
