Christina Ferrari, former editor-in-chief of Teen People Magazine. "Teeth in a Pickle Jar is an intelligent, humorous and well-written story. Journalist and first-time author, H.B. Milligan, has clearly found her niche in fiction writing. The characterizations sparkle, the dialogue has "zing" to it, and the plot gleefully defies expectations. This quick, fluid read contains uncommon insight into human nature and is a satisfying exploration of one woman's daring-to-be-different journey toward love."

This book is now a member of my top
10 favorites. I met H.B. Milligan this evening at a book discussion. She is as
wonderful as her book. I'm so glad I read this and I tell everyone (especially
single women) it's a must read. Cathy Brown, Bradenton, FL I LOVED your book! I finished it at 2:30am this morning and didn't want it to end. It was so engaging and insightful, drawing you into the characters. Thank you for such a wonderful book. Michelle McCaffrey, Beachbums Book Club, Sarasota FL A great read, inspiring and uplifting. I didn't want it to end. One instantly becomes part of Megan's world, her struggles with her "mamma," as well as all the people she holds dear in her life. Waiting for more from this talented writer. Susan H, Sonoma CA Just wanted to let you know how enjoyable this novel was. I just had to keep turning the pages for two days. Looking forward to another, hopefully in the near future. Sara G, Winter Haven, FL I loved the book. I'll look forward to your next one. Donna B, Bradenton, FL Teeth in a Pickle Jar is an
easy and engrossing read. Beyond that, it is a thought-provoking plea for giving
chemistry and common sense precedence over rigid rules in the mating game -- and
life in general -- and a reminder that maturity is not necessarily measured by
chronological age alone. DvS. - Bloomington, Indiana A story of romance and passion for
life; about taking Mary H. - Kingston, PA A wonderfully entertaining novel - fun and a pleasure to read Marlene B. - Vancouver, Canada Loved the book, had many a good laugh. Muriel S. - Boston, MA An absolutely lovely story. I love the humor throughout; it's very on, very quick, and fun to read. Elizabeth Zack, Editor, Bookcrafters LLC Just finished TEETH IN A PICKLE JAR and enjoyed reading it tremendously. You captured all the joys and hardships of the December/May relationship between a woman and a man, and your portrayal of Megan's mother was superb. The mother-daughter relationship was absolutely on target, as well. I hope you'll consider writing a sequel, because the end left me wondering what would happen with Megan and Brent, and also with Hayley and Pedro and their baby. Arlene S. - Blue Ridge Mountains
