Named a 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist
"McDaniel's debut is the perfect blend of salty and sweet, combining 1970s culinary horrors like ham and bananas hollandaise with a motley crew of fakers learning what family really means." -Booklist (starred review)
"A gorgeously messy and misguided heroine. I love this story." -Laura Dern
"Mr. & Mrs. American Pie is nonstop fun from start to finish." -HelloGiggles
"Juliet McDaniel's debut novel is hilarious." -Refinery29
"A laugh-out-loud story starring a offbeat heroine you won't soon forget, Mr. & Mrs. American Pie is the comic relief you've been waiting for." -Bustle
"Juicy and kooky-I loved it." -Cat Marnell, author of How to Murder Your Life
"McDaniel has a winner with her wittily titled debut. Mr. & Mrs. American Pie mixes a riotous 1969 California with a story that speaks to today's Time's Up movement." -Andy Lewis, The Hollywood Reporter
"Driven by three unforgettable characters, Mr. & Mrs. American Pie isn't just a fast-paced romp about an American beauty pageant-it's a treatise on class, gender, politics, the power of perseverance, and what it means to be family." -Sarah Nivala, Book Soup
"A hilarious and thought-provoking satire with as much heart as bite. For fans of Maria Semple and Helen Ellis with a dash of Carl Hiaasen's humor." -Becky Spratford, Librarian (RA for All)
"This is the type of relentlessly entertaining, deeply kind novel that will appeal to fans of Maria Semple and Jami Attenberg." -Magan Szwarek, Librarian (STDL)
