“I was slobberingly, tail-waggingly delighted to read The Hitch—which is one of the most wildly comedic and unhinged novels I have ever encountered, while at the same time also being deeply relatable and strangely emotionally accurate. Not only was I laughing on almost every page, I was reading parts of it aloud to anybody around me who would listen. Give this book a trophy. It’s perfect.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of All the Way to the River
“A hilarious, madcap novel about our human obsession with getting life “right,” and how the best laid plans can go astray, especially when the dark haunted soul of a corgi gets involved. This is the book I’ll recommend to people as a test of their sense of humor: if they laugh at the corgi, the yogurt crisis, the hero who cannot recognize the obvious even when it’s chewing on her pant leg, then I’ll know we’re destined to be friends.”—Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of Wellness
“I’m a huge fan of Sara Levine, her improbable and wild imagination, her exceptional comedic talent, and most importantly, her ability to lean into the strange complexities of human nature to create a story that will upend you entirely. In The Hitch, Rose Cutler holds onto everything in her life with a death grip of certainty, but when her nephew Nathan believes the spirit of a dead corgi now inhabits his body, the novel opens up, in beautiful and bizarre ways, to the pleasure—and terrors—of being out of control.”—Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
“The Hitch is laugh-out-loud funny and if you're anything like me (sorry!), it’ll leave you muttering in disbelief and to the book and Rose Cutler. Now the hitch: while laughing and cringing, you are sucked into a morally complex novel that dares to be kind while asking if kindness is always enough. Sara is a blissfully mad genius.”—Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts
“The bonkers magic of this laugh-out-loud funny novel about a breathtakingly self-absorbed yogurt CEO’s metaphysical babysitting adventure took possession of me like a corgi’s wisecracking ghost.”—Ada Calhoun, New York Times bestselling author of Crush and Also a Poet
“Zany but still moving, thought-provoking as well as laugh-out-loud funny, The Hitch is something all too rare these days—a true comic novel. It’s a welcome return from the brilliant Sara Levine.”—Rumaan Alam, author of National Book Award finalist Leave the World Behind
“Better than xanax. Perfectionists in recovery, this was written for you. Bonkers and absolutely inspired, Levine is one of the funniest writers working today.”—Molly McGhee, author of Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind
“Sara Levine’s long-awaited follow-up to cult classic Treasure Island!!! does not disappoint: we find in The Hitch a plot as dark and concise as those of Hilary Mantel’s early novels, but propelled by Levine’s signature prose, sharp and hilarious. In this pitch-perfect comedy of manners, Rose, equal parts Thomas Bernhard, Elaine Benes, and health guru, might be too well-informed to make an informed decision, but seeing her try is a true delight. A relentlessly funny novel about loneliness.”—Camille Bordas, author of The Material
“No hugging, no yogurt. The Hitch is a riot. Levine in top form.”—Adam Levin, author of The Instructions and Bubblegum
