“A cross between A Separate Peace and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

“I loved this book! Filled with personality, compassion, and fabulous atmosphere, it’s a compelling tale of friendship between cracked by loveable people.”
– Michael Musto
“I love stories about friendship, particularly those in which friendship is recalled under a nostalgic haze. I found the whole thing quite lovely. Stuart knows how to cut the pathos with some sharp wit.”
– Daniel Goldin of the Boswell Book Company, on NPR
“Put simply this is the most beautifully written novel I have read in years.”

“I fell in love with The Hour Between on page one. This story is all heart – at the same time it’s layered with wit, sorrow, and pitch-perfect satire.”
