Best Woman

BEST WOMAN absolutely sparkles with all the wit, charm, and drama of the best 90’s rom-coms, and does it in pitch perfect prose * Torrey Peters, bestselling author of DETRANSITION, BABY *
Irresistibly fresh, bright, funny, and bursting with singular voice, this is the kind of romance I’ve been waiting for * Casey McQuiston, bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue *
A deliciously clever and relentlessly hilarious firecracker of a debut … smart, sexy, and endlessly entertaining * Kristen Arnett *
Irreverently funny and tear-jerkingly tender, Best Woman takes the wedding cake as my favorite debut of the year * JP Brammer *
Part romance, part lit-fic, all wedding bells, Rose Dommu’s debut novel contains nostalgic nods to quintessential Nineties romcoms all while managing to revel in the joys of family and the messiness of a brand new life. * Rolling Stone *
Full of snappy pop culture references, Dommu is an especially tender writer of our awkward little yearnings. * W *
[The] near-universal contours of trans experience have rarely been articulated with such specificity in published fiction * them *
Destined to be optioned … [Best Woman] feel[s] deeply cinematic without ever sacrificing laughs or hewing to the audience’s expectations. (After all, who says a leading lady can’t sow a little pre-nuptial tumult in the estimable company of hot people of all genders?) * Vogue *
Devourable and quippy … an exploration of trans identity through a troublemaking lens. Just like the romantic comedies it takes inspiration from, it’s a romp full of painfully true moments. * Xtra *
Dommu knows how to capture an audience. And she brings that in full force with her delightful … debut novel… . It’s engrossing, at times stressful—in the best possible way—and is easily one of those books that you accidentally read in one sitting because you just couldn’t put it down. * E! Online *
