Praise for Last Night in Brooklyn

“Smart, tough-minded, and passionate: a pleasure from start to finish.”

—Kirkus, starred review

“An all-the-way-live novel of dreams, anguish, vengeance, and liberation.”

—Booklist, starred review

“Gonzalez’s straightforward prose downplays its subtlety and brilliance, and she is Whartonesque when it comes to describing the folkways of a particular group of people at a particular time.”

—BookPage

“Exploring potential, obligation, and living out your wildest dreams, this is literary fiction at its most evocative.”

—Harper’s Bazaar

“A vibrant coming-of-age… Gonzalez captures the energy of a neighborhood shaped by gentrification and a nation on the brink of financial ruin.”

—Boston Globe

“As the old saying goes, money can only get you so far.”

—People

“One of our sharpest chroniclers of ambition, class, and the hidden costs of ‘making it’… a glittering time capsule of pre-recession Brooklyn—right before the bill comes due.”

—Oprah Daily

“Gonzalez invokes the creative ferment in Fort Greene during the run-up to Barack Obama’s election… the end of an era as bankers move in like sharks.”

—TIME

“A fantastic meditation on a very particular moment in Brooklyn history.”

—Book Riot

“Gonzalez really knows how to render time and place… a story about being a person who knows people in a way that feels valuable.”

—LitHub

“This novel challenges the life that money can buy and the compromises of fiscal assimilation for people of color chasing the ‘American Dream.’”

—Electric Literature
