“I had the great honor and joy of meeting Elizabeth Berg at a book signing for her new book, The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted, just a couple of weeks ago. Hearing her read an excerpt from one of her stories, "Returns and Exchanges" was sheer delight. I am still reading this collection, but so far I find that her appeal defies boundaries. Every woman will identify with her characters and the every day wonders and pitfalls of being a woman. Her narrators are honest, humble and hopeful. Most of all Berg gives us all permission to be human. Isn't this the greatest gift of fiction? Simply a splendid read from one of America's most talented, contemporary female writers!”
