“Can you have an acerbic yet golden heart? Oh yes, you can, as Simi Monheit proves in her compassionate, compelling and comedic debut, The Goldie Standard. While this novel reads like a romantic caper, Monheit doesn’t shy away from examining the most fraught of our human complexities. Much like her main character, Goldie, Monheit’s magic lies in her ability to touch the tenderest of heart strings while tickling all the funny bones. Another bit of magic? No one can live up to The Goldie Standard, and then, somehow, everyone does.” —R. Cathey Daniels, Author of Live Caught
