32 Candles

"[A] captivating debut. . . . With all the charm of a clever romantic comedy and peopled by appealing, memorable characters, Carter's first novel is a winner on all fronts."--Booklist (starred review)
"[Davie's] need for sweet revenge adds a welcome dark edge."--Publishers Weekly
"A debut tragicomic romance. . . . Potent and well rendered."--Kirkus Reviews
"Ernessa T. Carter is a fresh new voice. In Davie Jones, she has created a wicked yet empathetic character. I can't wait to see what's next."--Terry McMillan, author of Waiting to Exhale and Getting to Happy
"First there was Stella and she got her groove back, then there was Bridget Jones and she managed to find love despite her own lovable neuroses. Now there is Davie Jones. 32 Candles, at last, is the answer to the question 'What should I read next?'"--Erica Kennedy, author of Feminista and Bling
"I super heart Davie Jones. . . . She's perfectly imperfect, and you won't want her lively, hysterical, what-looks-like-crazy-on-an-ordinary-day story to end. A thoroughly, totally, ridiculously addictive read!"--Denene Millner, coauthor of The Vow
"32 cheers for Ernessa T. Carter! She's created one of the freshest, funniest characters I've ever read about. . . . 32 Candles is a charmer."--Carleen Brice, author of Orange Mint and Honey
