Praise for pinch me

"Frothy fun"
MARIE CLAIRE
“If the swift-kicking Philadelphia Story were moved to the present day and given an urbane bent (or if Heaven Can Wait had female tendencies), they'd be up the same alley as Halpern's youthful new novel 29.”
PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER
"Breezy… A comic romp with a comforting message of self-acceptance"
KIRKUS REVIEWS
Praise for 29

"A joyful fairy tale that will sweep you up and captivate you from start to finish. Sweet, funny, and tender."
Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles and Wife in the Fast Lane
“Take an ingenious idea for a plot, combine it with likable characters and genuine heart and you've got '29,' a novel about a woman who is full of regrets until she makes a wish that changes her life and the lives of those she loves. A skillfully told story that will appeal to 29-year-olds of all ages.”
Jane Heller, bestselling author of Name Dropping and An Ex to Grind
Praise for THE TEN BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE

“Readers into the heavenly have another bonbon to savor.”
Publishers Weekly
“A charming vision of heaven that reminds us to live each day here on earth as if it could be our last.”
Danielle Ganek, author of Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him
"A heavenly read. The kind of story that will have you calling your mother to remind her how much you love her."
Lisa Daily, author of Fifteen Minutes of Shame
Praise for TARGET UNDERWEAR AND A VERA WANG GOWN

“One of the 50 Hot Books for Summer.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Hot books for the summer”
Good Morning America and Wall Street Journal Weekend
“Reading Adena’s story made me want to throw open the doors of my closet and hear the stories my own clothes have to tell—from my first Galliano gown, to a pair of Earth shoes that I wore in eighth grade with a pair of Calvin Klein jeans. This book reassures the girl in each of us that she’s not alone in her search for the perfect outfit and the confidence that, we hope and pray, comes along with it.”
Cindy Crawford
"For years, I’ve been looking for someone to write about shopping in a funny, smart, modern way. And I’ve found her... a girl after our own high-heeled hearts."

LESLEY JANE SEYMOUR, EDITOR IN CHIEF, MARIE CLAIRE
“You’ll fall in love with Adena, her mother, her family, and her friends. I did. Though she can’t control her life or love life (who can?), she can control her closet and her spirit shines through that closet. ”
Ilene Beckerman, author of Love, Loss and What I Wore and Makeovers at the Beauty Counter of Happiness
"Her heartbreaking, hilarious, and sometimes humiliating tales will have you reaching in your closet for your worn Z. Cavariccis and puffy-sleeved prom dress to revel in your own fabric nostalgia."
Marie Claire
“… she has serious wit up her sleeve…”
Publishers Weekly
“… (a) sassy, heartfelt memoir.”
Life Magazine
“Rather than a rundown of endless outfit changes, hers is a fun account of just how far one woman will go for the perfect pair of underwear.”
Gothamist
"I find Adena Halpern to be talented, gorgeous, deliciously witty, and did I say talented?"
Main Line Times
“… often hilarious and always poignant.”
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
“… guaranteed to amuse even non-fashionistas.”
Rocky Mountain News
“Halpern's writing is smart and snappy and keeps you turning the pages. It's everything a summer book should be.”
The Vancouver Sun
“… talks as lovingly about her father's pizza-stained sweatshirt as about haute couture.”
Arizona Republic
