Starred review for The Not Wives in Kirkus
Publishers Weekly calls The Not Wives “immersive and ambitious.”
The Rumpus writes of The Not Wives, “Moore offers us new stories of sexuality, family, and survival. By telling these stories, the novel makes it possible for us to live different lives. In this sense, The Not Wives is itself a courageous form of activism, a push for radical change.”
Independent Book Review calls The Not Wives “A terrific literary novel of haves and have nots.”
The Mom Egg Review writes, “Moore’s female characters are unapologetically human, with bodies and desires. The same goes for her queer characters—they are flawed, complicated, and fully formed.”
