Quotes

“Liz Talley has written a love story between a mother and daughter that captured me completely. By turns tender and astringent, sexy and funny, heart-wrenching and uplifting, Room to Breathe is an escapist and winning story that will carry you away with an imperfect pair of protagonists who just might remind you of someone you know. A delight.” —Barbara O’Neal, author of When We Believed in Mermaids“Funny and heartwarming. Talley captures the feeling of being trapped in our expectations of ourselves and finding the strength to learn who we really are.” —Sonali Dev, USA Today bestselling author and author of Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors“[Liz Talley’s] dialogue is crisp and smart, her characters are vivid and real, her stories are unputdownable.” —Robyn Carr, New York Times bestselling author“Liz Talley’s characters stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. Complex, emotional stories written in a warm, intelligent voice, her books will warm readers’ hearts.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author“Every book by Liz Talley promises heart, heat, and hope, plus a gloriously happy ever-after—and she delivers.” —Mariah Stewart, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author“Count on Liz Talley’s smart, authentic storytelling to wrap you in southern comfort while she tugs at your heart.” —Jamie Beck, USA Today bestselling author
