Reviews for You Are Here: 

“This novel is a community and a tour de force account of small-town America. How do we survive ourselves and each other? How can we thrive instead of simply co-exist? Lin-Greenberg brings her imperfect yet perfect cast of characters to answer this very question and shows us a way. A magical book, brimming with soul.”
— Weike Wang, author of Joan Is Okay

“A boy, a beauty, an elderly gardener, a failed PhD, and an artist with scissors: where else could all of these characters meet but at the mall? In Karin Lin-Greenberg’s clear-eyed and heartfelt You Are Here, the failing Greenways Mall makes community out of a group of characters so fractious and real, you feel like you’re hanging out with them at the food court.”
— Alexandra Lange, author of Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall

“With great insight and care, Lin-Greenberg chronicles the daily lives of neighbors connected to a local mall that's soon closing. You Are Here shows that times keep changing, but the American Dream persists.”
— Sarah Langan, acclaimed author of Good Neighbors
