It’s fun to get good reviews!
Bipolar Disorder is often distorted in fiction and it was difficult to write about without melodrama. Here’s what some of the most recent reviews said about the novel:
Popik’s Rich Debut Raises Awareness to Bipolar Disorder
“…Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate is a very well-written and engaging story. Popik’s deep understanding of bipolar disorder is obvious and I commend her for writing about it with such tenderness. I would recommend this book to adult readers, especially those interested in mental health and stories about a family in crisis.”

Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate
“Popik presents bipolar disorder without condescension or exploitation. While readers may find the appearance of an antagonistic ex-husband of a client to Richard’s distracting from the central story, they will forgive it for the intimacy of the rest of the tale.”
—Publishers Weekly Select Review, October 2013
