★ “[A] compelling narrative.”—Booklist, Starred Review
“An honest, moving portrayal of a family finding their way through life’s challenging moments.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Moldover employs sensitivity and nuance to depict Hannah’s determination to secure financial stability and do right by her nephews and herself. Her evolution from reticence to fierce advocate radiates with heart.”—Publishers Weekly
“Just Until takes readers on an incredibly emotional journey alongside eighteen-year-old Hannah as her home situation spirals out of control, forcing her to make life-changing decisions for her entire family. This gruff but loveable teen made me cry and gave me hope for humanity. This story bursts with heart!” —Kip Wilson, Author of White Rose and The Most Dazzling Girl in Berlin
“An incredibly gripping, powerful story about a young woman, Hannah, who faces tough choices in a tough world. At a crossroads, she must dig deep to find a path that is at once hopeful and healing. In Just Until, Moldover has created characters I cared for so deeply. And I was turning the pages so fast that I got paper cuts. Compulsively readable.” —Jennifer De Leon, author of Borderless and Don’t ask me where I’m From
“Hannah’s thoughtful, whip-smart first-person narrative will instantly resonate with readers. My heart ached alongside her as she wrestled with dreams of escaping small town life, and the realities of unexpected family complications.” —Alex Richards, author of When We Were Strangers and Accidental
“With his sophomore novel, Joseph Moldover proves—yet again—that few writers are better suited to explore the harrowing years between adolescence and adulthood. Just Until is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining: a lost-girl, found-family tale with a protagonist whose hard-edged charm echoes the New England coastal landscape that surrounds her. Moldover’s fans will happily follow him down any byway, and this latest is paved with the author’s signature wit, pathos, and wry humor. Just Until is a winding, scenic gem.”—T.M. Blanchet, author of Herrick’s End, Herrick’s Lie, and Herrick’s Key (The Neath Trilogy)
