Cristina Alger, author of This Was Not The Plan

"Leah DeCesare has a writer's voice that is remarkable for a debut novel. The characters in FORKS, KNIVES AND SPOONS are so relatable and the story makes you long for your own youth. A wonderful book about love and growth, and discovering who you are and what makes you happy."
Anita Hughes, author of Christmas in Paris

"Leah DeCesare captured me on the very first line, ‘There are three types of guys: forks, knives and spoons.’ With imagination, highly relatable characters, and witty dialogue we are taken back to our youths - reevaluating and categorizing all of our crushes. A lovely story of friendship, love, and the amazing time between childhood and adulthood."
Dawn Lerman, bestselling author of My Fat Dad: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Family with Recipes, New York Times Well Blog columnist

Nicole Waggoner, author of Center Ring and The Act.

"Leah DeCesare brings humor, warmth and wit to the timeless themes of female friendship, looking for love in all the wrong (and right!) places and the fine art of growing up. Any woman who has ever dated will laugh their way through Forks, Knives and Spoons!"
Emily Listfield, Co-founder, Jyst, the dating advice app on iTunes and author of Waiting to Surface

"I couldn’t help but get nostalgic as I read the charming and witty Forks, Knives, and Spoons. There is a delicious innocence and great fun in reading about young women seeking love and romance in a time before a left or right swipe had anything to do with dating. This book is full of heart and hopefulness—a joy to read."
Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Trouble with Lexie

"The sounds, cultural references and scents of the 80’s will envelop you as you read DeCesares’s debut- Forks, Knives, and Spoons. I felt like I was right back in my dorm room where the biggest decision was whether to play Squeeze or Blondie as I got ready for a dorm party.  This page-turning romp through the college years and beyond follows Amy as she navigates a cutlery of cuties in search of the perfect steak knife. Makes me want to plan a reunion!"
Robin Kall,  host of Reading With Robin podcast and Point Street Reading Series

"Full of 1980s nostalgia, DeCesare's ambitious young women protagonists meet campus "Forks, Knives, and Spoons" as they navigate how to ultimately place themselves firmly at the head of their own tables."
