“Madeline McKnight is an unforgettable character. 
A book about life, legacy and unlikely friendship.”—Marianne Cronin, author of The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

“Wry as it is warm, specific as it is universal, and uplifting as it is heartbreaking, Madeline McKnight Signs Off is a brilliant debut. Madeline and Bri stayed with me long after the poignant last page, and have changed the way I think about loyalty, love, and ambition. Also, there is an enormous dog named Hopie and morbidly hilarious jokes—what more could a reader want?” —Cat Shook, author of Humor Me 

“An extraordinary exploration of friendship that spans the broadest universal themes of love and loyalty to the most intricate, intimate and memorable details of a human life. With this portrait alone, Evan Brooke’s debut novel is a powerful one, but add that her immediately compelling characters and situation are brilliantly woven onto the historical backdrop of the intrigue of Hetty Green, The Witch of Wall Street, and the result is nothing short of masterful.” —Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Life and Hieroglyphics 

“Refreshing, witty, and irreverent, Madeline McKnight Signs Off tackles the topic of mortality with the perfect balance of dark humor and heart. Evan Brooke's clear-eyed examination of how the world treats prickly, ambitious women is nuanced, thought-provoking, and, most importantly, immensely entertaining.”—Mikki Brammer, bestselling author of The Collected Regrets of Clover
