What other readers are saying about
UNBECOMING EMMA

This is exactly the kind of book I love. Unbecoming Emma is a beautifully written, witty, and emotionally layered story. Emma is laugh-out-loud funny and her humor was a perfect and necessary balance to the pain she carries. I related to her in so many ways. Highly recommend this extraordinary story with memorable characters, a truly creative plot, and a huge plus—that wonderful touch of magic!”

Amazon reviewer

Unbecoming Emma is a complex story, exploring relationships of all kinds (with a complicated mother-daughter relationship center stage). The book has just the right dose of mystique and magic. Byrne is an author who can have you crying and laughing in the span of a paragraph and I love that about her works. Unbecoming Emma is one of these books that leaves a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart long after you turn the final page.

“Kelly Byrne has knocked it out of the park with her latest novel, Unbecoming Emma. This book is unique and magical, with a magnetic pull that makes it incredibly difficult to put down…Byrne’s enchanting storytelling, filled with twists and turns, makes this a standout read…Spoiler alert – you will fall in love with Bob and need one Bob of your own!”

Amazon reviewer

This is one of those books where you get pulled in instantly by the main character’s offbeat humor and big heart and keep the pages turning because you can’t wait to uncover the next part of the mystery…But it’s the unfolding relationship with Emma’s long-lost mother that keeps the pages turning…It’s mysterious, funny, and moving. My personal favorite literary concoction.”
