“Our Gen is warm and smart, accessible yet meaningful, a beach read with strong writing and emotional heft.” — BookPage “Rooted in intrigue, humor and potential romance, though never far from heartache, Our Gen may be as close as revered and award-winning Philadelphia author Diane McKinney-Whetstone ever comes to the Beach Read section. Its main foursome—all nonwhite residents of a schmancy 55+ 'active living' community somewhere outside Philly—like to drink, crack jokes and smoke weed, but there are secrets bubbling just under the surface that may threaten the group dynamic. As always, it’s about characters for McKinney-Whetstone, and these four leap off the page with charm, vitality, and vulnerability.” — Philadelphia Inquirer “McKinney-Whetstone has a gentle storytelling style peppered with delightful turns of phrase. Her sexagenarian characters Cynthia, Bloc, Tish, and Lavia live more boldly and more honestly than their adult-age children, and probably have more sex too.” — Glamour
