Favorite Daughter

Praise

“A standout debut.”
—People

“So stunningly fresh and darkly funny that every page surprised me. Morgan Dick doesn’t just craft a clever plot—she writes brilliantly about grief and addiction and inheritance and, yes, redemption.”
—Catherine Newman, author of the New York Times bestseller Sandwich

“I am in such awe of Favorite Daughter—the characters, the plot (delicious!), the various voices, the deliberate tenderness. This is a serious and important book, but it’s also charming, funny, and sweet.”
—Marian Keyes, author of My Favorite Mistake and Again, Rachel

“A gripping, deeply honest and tender story, with characters that wove their way into my heart and stayed there. Dick’s writing is witty and packed with insight, making her a new favorite author of mine.”
—Natalie Sue, author of I Hope This Finds You Well

“A vast and ambitious novel of sisterhood, generational trauma, redemption and forgiveness. Morgan Dick writes with a rawness and ferociousness that will take your breath away.”
—Kirsty Capes, author of Careless and Girls

“I found it refreshingly dark and dryly funny, as well as perceptive and moving on the nature of addiction. Morgan is great at dialogue too, especially when she’s showing people talking at cross-purposes. I loved how understated the humor was.”
—Rebecca Wait, author of I’m Sorry You Feel That Way

“A thought-provoking but imperfect portrait of family dynamics from a promising newcomer.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Dick’s hard-hitting debut…hits hilarious highs and devastating lows as the two women grapple with the destructive ways they’ve coped with their father’s noxious legacy. The result is charming, cringe-inducing, and poignant in equal measure.”
—Publishers Weekly

“[Morgan] explores topics like mental health and addiction with warmth and panache.”
