“Rowell’s sweet, fun, When Harry Met Sally-style debut novel may make you believe in love before first sight.”

— Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of Sing You Home

“Attachments is so perfectly engaging, so sly, and so funny I read it all in one sitting, then went back and read my favorite scenes a second time. Between the cynicism-free romance and the faith that a beautiful, sweet life awaits the good among us, I hope Rowell never stops writing.”

“Rainbow Rowell lights up the sky with this sparkling debut novel. Attachments is fresh, fun and charmingly quirky.”
— Claire Cook, bestselling author of Must Love Dogs and Seven Year Switch

Restless with longing, incredibly honest and honestly hysterical, Rainbow Rowell is part stand-up comedy diva – master of the one-liner, reigning queen of witty banter – part tender, soulful raconteur, and part unabashed romantic… Attachments is a wholly contemporary love story, a snapshot of how we love and relate – one that shouldn’t be read on public transportation unless you’re willing to laugh uproariously in front of strangers.”

“An absolute pleasure to read! Wry, relatable and oh-so-smart, Attachments speaks in a pitch-perfect voice to the romantic in all of us.”
