PRAISE FOR
If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend
“If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend is pure, guilt-free pleasure. When you’re not laughing your head off, you’re in the middle of a remarkably honest and heartfelt story about a woman who has to find love inside herself before she can find it outside.”
—Joseph Weisberg, author of 10th Grade
“Laugh-out-loud funny.”
—Booklist
“Alison Pace takes us on a whirlwind transcontinental journey (first class, of course) with a lovable main character who, amid the crazy world of abstract art, discovers a little inspiration of her own.”
—Jennifer O’Connell, author of Bachelorette #1 and Off the Record

—The Washington Post
“This book is GENIUS! I stayed up all night laughing hyena-style.”

“Art lovers, dog lovers—even EX-lovers—will love this fun, funny book.”
—Beth Kendrick, author of Fashionably Late

—Kristen Buckley, author of The Parker Grey Show
“A fresh and beguiling story set in New York’s art milieu... Perfectly balancing comic missteps with insights, Pace gets Jane’s tricky growth spurt just right.”
