Dear Dotty is a joy to devour! Westlake gives us compelling characters, a page-turning plot, and laugh-out-loud humor. But it’s also a novel with a huge heart, thoughtfully exploring the difficulty in finding our authentic way in the world and the power of our chosen communities. A remarkable debut!” — Stacey Swann, author of Olympus, Texas
“Rosie Benson is one of the most relatable heroines I’ve read in a long time — I loved spending time with her on the page and in my head. Dear Dotty is charming, heartfelt and utterly absorbing.” — Suzanne Park, author of One Last Word
"Dear Dotty is a delightfully layered story of grief, love, and self-discovery. A charming debut that is sure to keep readers turning the pages as they fall in love with these wonderfully quirky characters!" — Zara Raheem, author of The Marriage Clock and The Retreat
"I loved this funny, thoughtful, tender story about growing up and growing into yourself. Rosie Benson is all of us in our shaky, uncertain early twenties, and Dotty is the ruthlessly honest, unconditionally loving mentor we wish we'd had." — Sarah Chamberlain, author of The Slowest Burn
"Equal parts heart and humor, Dear Dotty is a tribute to family, friendship, and becoming the person you were always meant to be. It reminded me of Taylor Swift's song "marjorie" in the best way: learning to say goodbye to someone who will never truly leave you. What an emotional joyride!" — Swati Hegde, author of Match Me If You Can
