Read Mine All Mine online

—St. Petersburg Times

“Wildly funny and original, Adam Davies perfectly recalls the crazy days of being young and daring and clueless about love and life and work. The Frog King is a captivating joy ride from the very first page.” —Laura Zigman

“Strewn with idiosyncratic perspectives and eccentric characters... alternately evokes lively laughter and anchoring sympathy.”

—BlackBook

“Davies’s subtle observations about life and strategic lack of romanticism make for an impressive and thought-provoking work . . . a fun and memorable read.” —Booklist

“This is indeed a love story, a genuinely modern tale of good intentions and bad manners, and though Harry may not be much of a charmer, his roller-coaster story is charm itself.” —Newsday

“The Frog King takes the coming-of-age-of-a-young-writer-living-and-self-destructing-in-New-York genre to its highest level. It’s so funny, timely, and smart that the fact that it’s really a love story sneaks up on you, till it’s too late and you’re really sucked into the tragicomic romance. Broken hearts, lives in ruins, and a little bit of redemption—what’s not to love?” —Newcity Chicago
