Long Island Compromise is the second novel by Taffy Brodesser-Akner published in 2024 by Random House.
The novel appeared on 11 lists of the best books of the year. [1] According to the book review aggregator Book Marks, it received an overall reception of "positive" from critics. [2]
In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called the book "a great American Jewish novel whose brew of hilarity, heartbreak, and smarts recalls the best of Philip Roth. A triumph." [3] Writing in The New York Times Book Review , Sloane Closley similarly praised the novel, saying "Given the unavoidable success of her debut, 'Fleishman Is in Trouble,' I will spare curious readers the suspense and answer a more cynical question: Is this book as good? It’s better. Sprawling yet nimble, this is her Big American Reform Jewish Novel...All those well-timed twists, neat callbacks and tidy scenes are a mitzvah for this satisfying, touching novel." [4]
Adelle Waldman of The Atlantic called the novel's plot "ingenious" and applauded "its various storylines building toward several extremely satisfying plot twists—by which I mean the best kind of twists, ones that are earned, that make the reader simultaneously gasp in surprise and want to hit oneself because, in retrospect, they make so much sense that there’s no excuse for not having seen them coming."
