“Kenney is supremely gifted at creating flawed, vivid characters and capturing the wonder, ennui, and heartbreak of marriage and parent-hood, and the seemingly small moments that make life precious.” - Publisher’s Weekly

“Kenney's timely satire succeeds with significant nuance...Most winning, though, are Kenney's incisive considerations of parenthood, familial love, and what actually matters when all is seemingly lost.” - Booklist

“A poignant, and often hilarious, portrait of a man in the midst of an extremely public downfall. Kenney, with humor and tenderness, gives us Ted Grayson, TV anchor of a bygone era as he fumbles through a changing media landscape and one terrible mistake and its fallout. This is a very human, very timely story.” - Vanessa Manko, Author, The Invention of Exile.

“A superbly crafted story of a swaggering news anchor who disgraces himself, facing shame and regret in an era when being human in public is a bloodsport. Talk to Me is moving, full of punch and sorrow – and told at the velocity of a man plummeting to earth." - Tom Rachman, author, The Italian Teacher and The Imperfectionists

“With depth and sympathy...[Kenney] saves a sweetly ironic twist for a redemptive ending....A powerful and moving rendition of a story we've been waiting to hear: what it's like to be the bad guy in this ripped-from-the-headlines situation.”
– Kirkus Review(STARRED REVIEW)

“Chronicle[s] our messy, modern lives.” - Los Angeles Times
