The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

by Gabrielle Zevin

I’ve read all your books, but I like this one the best.

Like Daniel Parish, I have had this happen a fair amount over the years. A reader will come to an event or write me an e-mail, and they will proceed to tell me why one of my books is their favorite "by far." Sometimes, they apologize for not liking all of my books equally. However, we are in agreement: I, too, do not like all of my books equally. When it first started happening, it used to bother me more than it does now. Seventeen years since my first novel was published, I am just glad if any one of my books has truly resonated with a reader.
