“I swiftly found myself enraptured by [main character] Lindsey’s environment, determination, and lifestyle…. Stamey’s plot is breezy, her treatment of Lindsey’s romances works marvelously, and her book is incredibly hard to put down. Her characters are real people you come to care about…. It’s most highly recommended.”

“Sara Stamey does for fiction what Cheryl Strayed and Elizabeth Gilbert did for memoir—Pause gives a voice to women who are too often invisible in contemporary books. The unforgettable Lindsey Friedland weaves together humor and passion against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty, using her unique voice to deliver a must-read novel about friendship, love, and killer hot flashes.”
