"A masterful, tender exploration of love, loss, and the poignant echoes of memory-profoundly moving." - Jamie Ford, New York Times-bestselling author
"A deeply thought-provoking, fascinating story about the most elemental issues of humanity." - Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
"A thought-provoking and rewarding exploration of grief and loss, with wise and wonderful things to say about the healing power of friendship." - Gareth Brown, bestselling author of The Book of Doors
"The Measure is equal parts charming and thought-provoking. It takes a philosophical question-what if everybody on earth knew exactly how long they had left to live?-and explores, with compassion and pragmatism, how the implications would trickle down into every area of modern life, from politics to intimacy." - Marie Claire
"Despite its chilling premise, Erlick's novel is an escape from-rather than a window into-our own terrifying reality." - New York Times on The Measure
"I doubt I will ever use the term 'life-affirming' when describing a novel again. No other book could ever measure up to what Erlick has done with this tender, original and gripping debut. I cannot think of a reader of any genre who would not find something to love in The Measure." - Bookreporter.com
"So often, high-concept novels are all conceit, no heart, but Nikki Erlick gives us both in spades, a fascinating and timely setup buttressed by a compelling cast of characters finding their hard way through unprecedented times. It makes The Measure a heartfelt parable for our own unprecedented times but also its opposite: a lesson in what doesn't change even when everything else does." - Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of One Two Three
"What an incredible book! It's truly original with an intriguing premise that's beautifully executed. I loved the fact that it was written from so many POVs, each adding depth and perspective to the overall narrative which made it a rich and satisfying read. I found it gripping, poignant, and intensely thought-provoking." - Ruth Hogan, bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things, on The Measure
