Bittersweet moments intersect with the intricate fairy tales Parker writes, compelling readers to judge what is real and what is make-believe."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW<br><br>"Jaded young readers and romantics alike will fall hard for Tommy Wallach's (author of <i>We All Looked Up</i>) underachieving writer of fairy tales and out-of-time wise woman as they tumble through a delirious three days of skinny dipping, drinking Champagne in a limo and rampant philosophizing. Cleverly but unobtrusively framed as a college application essay, <i>Thanks for the Trouble</i> plays with love, hubris and the youthful belief that more is always better."--Shelf Awareness<br>
