"Reading Some Assembly Required is like getting an instruction
manual for a new life: dump the boyfriend, move to Cape Cod, and
breathe in all that great salt air. You'll feel better in no time!"
-- Claire Cook, author of Life's a Beach, Summer Blowout, and Must
Love Dogs
"Lynn Kiele Bonasia gracefully mixes tenderness, irony, sorrow, and
humor in this irresistible debut novel. A must-read, pure and
simple." -- Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles and Holly
Would Dream
"A delightful, astutely observed novel about love, friendship, and
forgiveness. Rose's journey to becoming a Rosie was full of heart
and very satisfying." -- Leslie Schnur, author of Late Night
Talking and The Dog Walker
"Bonasia's portrait of a waterfront community's triumphs and
squabbles is as endearing as it is convincing." - Publishers
Weekly
"First-time novelist Bonasia delivers a sweet and idiosyncratic
portrait of small-town life with a wit and levity that suggest good
things to come." - Booklist
"In Some Assembly Required Lynn Bonasia gives us an intriguing
outsider's look at Cape Cod, jam-packed with 'trapezoidal,' as she
puts it, or 'multi-sided, complex, slightly askew' characters, who
will linger with you long after the book is closed." - Sally
Gunning, author of Bound and The Widow's War
"Lynn Kiele Bonasia's hilarious and heartfelt tale of redemption,
romance, and mystery is an irresistible one. I loved these people
and this wise and luminous book." - John Dufresne, author of
