Reviews
2022 IPPY Awards Gold Winner in Popular Fiction "In matter-of-fact prose studded with pithy observational gems. . . the various players can only get what they deserve by speaking their own truths. A keenly observed, compassionate, and absorbing work." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A poignant tale of love, loss, and secrets, The Liability of Love is a heart-wrenching, compassionate portrayal of survival--of what happens when old wounds are left untended, when quiet pain refuses to stay silent any longer, and when we allow ourselves a second chance. Gorgeously written; Susan Schoenberger has crafted a story that will remain with you long after you turned the last page." --Amber Smith, New York Times best-selling author of The Way I Used to Be "With the growing #MeToo movement, it feels like American culture has made progress talking about sexual assault, but Susan Schoenberger has dropped a novel that underscores how far we still have to go. In The Liability of Love , she explores the ways people navigate damaged aspects of ourselves. Many of the characters in this well-crafted, elegantly written book hide things, deny things, and simply try to put their head down and hope something like a rape will just recede. But, of course, it never does, and Schoenberger expertly explores the consequences." --Mary Collins, author of At the Broken Places: A Mother and Trans Son Pick Up the Pieces "Insecurity, intersection, and unrequited love circle each other in this touching story about what it means to actively manifest our destiny." --Zoe Fishman, best-selling author of Inheriting Edith and Invisible as Air "Susan Schoenberger has an indisputable gift for creating characters so believable that they might live next door. In The Liability of Love , she presents an authentic, touching exploration of friendship and love. Fans of Anne Tyler will adore this beautiful novel." --P. Jo Anne Burgh, author of State v. Claus " The Liability of Love is a gorgeously written novel about how one terrible moment can ripple through a person's life, and those around her, in ways both great and small. Susan Schoenberger masterfully weaves a beautiful, gripping tale filled with empathetic and well-drawn characters. An unforgettable and moving story of love, loss, and, ultimately, survival." --Jillian Cantor, USA Today best-selling author of Half Life, 2022 IPPY Awards Gold Winner in Popular Fiction "In matter-of-fact prose studded with pithy observational gems. . . thevarious players can only get what they deserve by speaking their owntruths.
