"Deliciously satisfying...and nail-biting, tear-inducing, uproarious, and generally just all the feels...Kaylor has a real knack for storytelling that left me flying through the pages, and she writes her characters with respect and thoughtfulness...'Calculation' gets into the flow early and becomes a rushing river that you're only too glad to be carried along." -Associate Publishers
