Jane and Dan at the End of the World
Though the set-up is stronger than the landing, getting there is tons of fun in this fast-paced novel.

The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise
Tanner and Louise’s growing bond is funny and heartwarming and gives heart to Oakley’s (The Invisible Husband of Frick Island) latest, but the sharp, witty dialogue and plotting keep the story from becoming too saccharine. A great read-alike for fans of the television show Hacks.

Fans of the delightfully bizarre and quaintly humorous will love Oakley’s (You Were There Too) hopeful tale about the powerful bond of community and how far people will go to protect someone they love.

It is easy to get lost in this vividly told story with characters and a fictional malady that are utterly believable. Oakley's second novel (Before I Go) should build on the author's popularity and continue comparisons to popular authors such as Jojo Moyes.

Before I Go
The specifics of Daisy's disease are suggested here rather than described in detail, but cancer is palpable on every page. Readers will want simultaneously to hug Daisy and give her a good shake when she goes off the rails. Is she a bit too glib, too self-possessed for her situation? Oakley's debut sets her heroine off on a quest that might be a bit foolhardy, but Daisy bravely endures and discovers the healing power of love. Highly recommended for laugh-out-loud fans and the tearjerker set.
