"""Obsessed! Each sentence of Alice Sadie Celine is chock full of playful irreverence for feminist and gender theory, hip popular culture references, and the wide breadth of what defines female sexuality."" --Chlo� Sevigny ""I am literally obsessed."" --Busy Philipps, actress and New York Times bestselling author of This Will Only Hurt a Little ""The three unforgettable women in this novel remind me of the dancing figures in the Matisse painting, their secrets joyful and mysterious, their dramas delightful and powerful. Delicious and subversive, Alice Sadie Celine is a mesmerizing read."" --Yiyun Li, winner of the PEN Jean Stein Award, PEN Hemingway Award, and author of The Book of Goose and Where Reasons End ""Sarah Blakley-Cartwright subverts all kinds of expectations with this sharply drawn trio of strong-willed women. Vibrant, sensual, and full of irreverent humor, Alice, Sadie, Celine is an outstanding first novel."" --Idra Novey, author of Take What You Need ""Alice Sadie Celine is the story of a forbidden love triangle, of the complexities of female friendship, and of the inextricable bond between mothers and daughters. Taut, tense, sexy, and lucid, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright's debut adult novel is an unforgettable, irresistible, daring page-turner."" --Hannah Lillith Assadi, author of The Stars Are Not Yet Bells and Sonora ""Like Didion but with more warmth and a queer sensibility, Alice Sadie Celine is packed with so much of what I love in a book: tight prose, smart, fully realized characters grappling with inappropriate love affairs, and bright California land and light. It's extraordinarily lovely and I savored every word and didn't want it to end."" --Bethany Ball, Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Finalist and author of The Pessimists ""Here come three indelible women and, with them, one of contemporary fiction's most delicious love triangles. Sarah Blakley-Cartwright has written a gem of a novel - super smart, slyly sexy, and crackling throughout with kindhearted humor."" --Hermione Hoby, author of Virtue"
