From Publishers Weekly Florey's witty, charming eighth novel (Souvenir of Cold Springs; Vigil for a Stranger; etc.) follows the travails of palindrome-obsessed—and appropriately named—Emily Lime and her coterie of like-minded friends in their quirky Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood. At 36, Emily is still trying to find her way as a photographer. She's also broke and lonely, and she hasn't quite gotten over her divorce. To make matters worse, Emily's ex-husband, the heartless Tab Hartwell, wants his son to murder her. To further complicate matters, Hart's son is Emily's dreamy dog walker, 21-year-old Marcus Mead, upon whom she has a huge crush. Perhaps the strongest character in the novel, however, is Emily's Williamsburg, which sometimes competes with Marcus for her affections. The author's sure way with setting redeems flashbacks to Marcus's rural Pennsylvania childhood, which could have been cutely cloying tidbits about a bookish boy and his hippie mom, but instead offer sweet, sharp insights into a "bewilderingly different" boy. Florey doesn't serve up obvious plot lines, and the novel's unexpected ending satisfies. If this clever, engrossing book suffers from any flaw, it's that the characters have so much in common: there are far too many dog-loving, word-fixated, art-appreciating, Trollope-reading crossword puzzle aficionados for any single novel. But that's a small quibble in a light, winning read. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
From Booklist Life within the perfectly balanced zip code of 11211 (Brooklyn's colorful Williamsburg neighborhood) is decidedly out of whack-- Joe Whack, that is. As with so many artists, Joe's fame has come only since he's been gone, and paintings once owned by Tab Hartwell and his ex-wife, Emily Lime, are now worth a fortune. Desperate for cash, Hart hires his son, Marcus, to kill Emily so Hart can inherit the artwork. One problem: Marcus and Emily are best friends--soul mates, in fact, who share a love of animals and a passion for palindromes. Emily would like to share a passion with Marcus, but it would be wrong, she knows: he's 16 years her junior and she was once married to his father. Only Marcus doesn't know that she knows that Hart is his dad. Such entanglements abound in this utterly charming tale of unlikely love. With a nod to its palindrome title and chapter headings, Florey's smart, funny romance can be summed up in one word: wow. Carol HaggasCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Loved this book! By T. MacCombie Solos, by Kitty Burns Florey, is one of those books to curl up with on a hot summer day, or a cold winter night, or a pleasant fall afternoon or--whenever. It's an absolutely delightful story with a bang-up ending, about people you wish you had for friends. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It sucked me in, made me laugh, and even made me think. Mostly it was just really fun to read and hard to put down. I have been a fan of this writer's books for a few years now,and eagerly look forward to her next!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommended By P. O'Donnell Reading "Solos" is like spending a weekend with a good friend, who also happens to be witty and charming and can tell a great story. The Williamsburg setting is fun, but even if you're not from THE CITY (even if you're from rural Maine, for example, like I am), the warmth and humor of this book make it worth reading. It's a well-written, intelligent book you don't need to feel guilty about loving! I've been recommending it to all my friends, and those who've read it have enjoyed it as much as I did.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. endearing read By konnie k I really appreciated this book. #1- I always value a book that involves people's emotional attachment to their animals. #2 - I appreciated the fact that the book could have treaded into uncomfortable territory but didn't. I loved these characters and I felt like I wanted to have them as my friend. an excellent, easy, delightful read- I can't wait to read more of her books.
