Good Luck of Right Now (Quick)

Book Reviews
[A] quirky coming-of-age story about an earnest, guileless 38-year-old man with a dyspeptic stomach...[whose] motley flock slowly takes form, including the bipolar priest he's known his whole life, a foulmouthed paranoid grieving for his dead cat, and the paranoid's depressed sister.... Quick writes with an engaging intimacy, capturing his narrator's innocence and off-kilter philosophy, and the damaged souls in orbit around him
Publishers Weekly


Quick, the author of The Silver Linings Playbook, provides another offbeat gem populated with eccentric, fallible, intensely human characters…. Humor, pathos, and quirky bends in the road define they odyssey, making it increasingly clear that it is all about the journey, not the destination.
Booklist


(Starred review.) Quirky, feel-good.... [Neil] Bartholomew...is something of a holy innocent. He becomes enamored with the "Girlbrarian," a woman he falls platonically in love with at the library he haunts. Through synchronicity (a key concept in the novel), it turns out the Girlbrarian, Elizabeth, has a brother, Max...and the novel switches to a road trip to Canada.... A whimsical, clever narrative.
