Praise

“THE LAW OF LOVING OTHERS . . . immerses us in an utterly convincing world, and, in Emma, creates the kind of complex heroine readers will long remember—in all her flaws and hidden strengths and surprising wisdom.”—Dan Chaon, author of AWAIT YOUR REPLY and STAY AWAKE


“A riveting and heartbreaking story of every young person’s worst nightmare: the descent of a parent into madness. A great read by a great new writer to watch.” –Blake Nelson, author of The Prince of Venice Beach


The Law of Loving Others is a poignant, powerful, and insightful novel about love, loss, and growing up. Kate Axelrod has written a wise and wonderful debut.” — Margo Rabb, author of Cures for Heartbreak and Kissing in America

“Axelrod has created a convincing portrait of a teen newly experiencing the step-by-step process of learning how to cope with a family member’s mental illness.” — School Library Journal

“In this candid, affecting portrait of a girl in crisis, debut author Axelrod nonjudgmentally and realistically captures the swirling ups and downs of anxiety, and the frantic, impotent grasp for control in the face of unpredictable, catastrophic change.” —Booklist
 
“Axelrod’s prose is careful, intelligent, and contemplative…. [Emma’s] actions never feel anything but realistic in this reflective and incisive exploration of the far-reaching effects of mental illness.” — Publishers Weekly
