Emily Lime and her equally palindromic dog, Otto, live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (zip code 11211), in a warm community of friends and fellow artists. Her life becomes more complicated when she falls in love with Marcus, a dog-walker and fellow Scrabble nut, whose father is Emily’s shady ex-husband who wants the lovable Emily dead. A mystery unravels, a valuable lost cache of paintings is found, and Emily’s life changes in ways she could not have anticipated.
“With a nod to its palindrome title and chapter headings, Florey’s smart, funny romance can be summed up in one word: Wow.” —Booklist
“Florey’s witty, charming eighth novel follows the travails of palindrome-obsessed—and appropriately named—Emily Lime and her coterie of like-minded friends in their quirky Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood. . . . The author’s sure way with setting offer(s) sweet, sharp insights.” — Publishers Weekly
