3 authors picked Long Island Compromise as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I grew up on Long Island, New York where this book was set and it took me back to my childhood as well as offering a really interesting take on how a traumatic event can have lifelong repercussions.
Taffy Brodesser-Akner is an exceptionally funny, fun, brilliant writer and it was clear this story meant a lot to her. It's also very much worth reading her NY Times Magazine story on the book.

So, when we saw that she was writing another one, we both not only hit the preorder button but reached out to her publisher to get advanced reader copies. The book doesn’t come out until July 9. Still, we’ve both already read it and can confidently say it’s a delightful summer read about a wealthy Jewish family, the Fletchers, grappling with grief, repressed trauma, and the sudden slipping away of their family fortune.
