<i>"Funny and wise-this totally unexpected story of chosen family warmed me from the inside out. I absolutely adored it."</i>

- Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script,

<i>"Set in the holiday glow of a luminously rendered New York City, The Christmas Orphans Club is a big-<b>hearted, poignant, page-turning novel</b> about the chosen families that sustain us. With this <b>dazzling debut</b>, Freeman is the heir apparent to the mantle of sophisticated, feel-good fiction. I will read anything she writes."</i>

- John Glynn, author of Out East: Memoir of a Montauk Summer,

<i>"I'm completely in love with this book! The Christmas Orphans Club is a beautiful exploration of friendship with laugh-out-loud dialogue and characters you can't stop thinking about. Becca Freeman's debut is witty, heartwarming, and hilarious and the most delightful thing you'll read all year."</i>

- Jennifer Close,

<i>"I dare you to read The Christmas Orphans Club and not want to spend every single holiday of your life--Christmas or otherwise--with Hannah, Finn, Priya, and Theo. Freeman's writing is filled with wit and insight, and her dialogue crackles. Beneath the abundant humor and charm, though, is a thoughtful exploration of friendship, tradition, and the challenges of growing old. What a gift of a debut!"</i>

- Grant Ginder,

<i>"Christmas movies and books have never been my thing, but wow, The Christmas Orphans Club made my heart grow three sizes. It's a triumphant celebration of friendship and a shining love letter to New York City in all of its classic, zany, festive glory. Listeners of Becca Freeman's podcast will recognize her signature effervescent humor, and I bet she'll have a new legion of fans soon thanks to this delightful novel."</i>

- Hannah Orenstein,

<p>"<i>The Christmas Orphans</i> has everything you could want in a holiday book-treat: sweetness, laughs, and delicious rom-com moments that'll make you jump up and yell, 'Kiss him! Kiss him!' Thank you, Becca Freeman, for an ensemble cast so lovable I wish they were real and could be my friends."<br /><b>-Mary Laura Philpott, author of <i>Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives</i></b></p>
