NPR''s Best Books of 2014 selection PopSugar 2014 Must Reads selection L Magazine 2014 Gift Guide Kansas City Star - 100 best books of 2014 Selection BuzzFeed - The 22 Most Exciting Literary Debuts Of 2014 Selection "Delightful...[This] story has it all." --Time Out New York "Consistently funny...[And] its characters are worth rooting for."-- NPR "Enchanting...Rich and real...The book feels lively, with the jostling energy of...well, a club."-- The Millions "The purely original construction of an irresistible story... Readers will fall in love...This assured, moving, brilliantly funny tale of music, mourning, and off-kilter romance entrances with its extraordinarily inventive language. Be prepared for a quick reread of this novel to try to answer the question: How did Bertino do that?" -- Library Journal (starred review) "A torch song to the power of jazz, determination and serendipity....Bertino''s carefully crafted verbal cadence gives Philadelphia a thumping heartbeat that captures the feel of the jazz medium perfectly... Funny and wise, this first novel will leave readers with smiles on their faces and a song in their hearts--something with a little swing to it, naturally."-- Shelf Awareness "Vibrant...Bertino''s characters are spot-on, and her special brand of humor brings each one to life in this fresh and charming tale."-- Booklist " 2 A.M. at The Cat''s Pajamas won me over heart and soul. With Madeleine Altimari, a nine year old aspiring jazz singer with a wonderful talent for cursing, Bertino has created one of the most winning and wonderful characters I''ve met in a long time. Read this book to see a debut author doing something really special, crafting a story where human kindness meets up with an inhospitable world and real magic happens in the aftermath." - Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang "Marie-Helene Bertino bops across Philadelphia like an alleycat on the run, energetic and wild. Her sentences are sharp and surprising, and her wonderful story is full of heart. There is funny poetry in the sound of loneliness, and Bertino has found it." --Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers and Laura Lamont''s Life in Pictures "Clever, charming and full of life...Like the best jazz, 2 A.M. at The Cat''s Pajamas is a marvel of the unexpected, a buoyant, swinging tale of interwoven destinies that Marie-Helene Bertino tells with verve, wit, and warmth. I loved it." -- Maggie Shipstead, author of Astonish Me and Seating Arrangements " 2 A.M. at The Cat''s Pajamas is as winning and funny as the nine year-old at its heart, and I love it for the way its protagonists turn their back on their city''s cruddiness and their own losses to proclaim their happiness to be in this world. They offer wryness as the antidote to self-pity and benevolence as the antidote to isolation, and they demonstrate how even the most forsaken can turn themselves into a warm, dry house." --Jim Shepard, National Book Award shortlisted author of Like You''d Understand, Anyway " 2 A.M. at The Cat''s Pajamas is a recipe box full of wonders. With a wildly entertaining cast of characters, Marie-Helene Bertino soars through her native city of Philadelphia, zeroing in with great beauty, wit, skill and love on the exact moments in time that change our lives forever." --Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief "Once you enter the imagination of Marie-Helene Bertino--a world as weird as it is warm--you will not want to leave. Each sentence is a pop-up box: first delightful for its sweet music, then profound with the shock of truth. This is a dazzling book."-- Eleanor Henderson, author of Ten Thousand Saints, "2 a.m. at the Cat's Pajamas is as winning and funny as the nine year-old at its heart, and I love it for the way its protagonists turn their back on their city's cruddiness and their own losses to proclaim their happiness to be in this world. They offer wryness as the antidote to self-pity and benevolence as the antidote to isolation, and they demonstrate how even the most forsaken can turn themselves into a warm, dry house." -- Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand, Anyway , and You Think That's Bad, " 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas won me over heart and soul.
