Molly Dektar's THE ABOLUTES received a wonderful review from Kristen Arnett in The Washington Post, who raves: “Wanting to be seen only as one’s most perfect self is a thrilling through line in this novel…There is much to admire in the way Dektar delves headlong into this delayed adolescence….It’s a riveting thing, desire; THE ABSOLUTES asks you to consider what matters more: the moment the stone is dropped into the pool or the ripples that spread across the surface long after the stone has sunk out of sight. Either answer could be right.” Mariner Books published the novel on July 11, 2023.
