This is How You Lose Her - Junot Diaz - NZ pub date announced

I reported on the forthcoming publication of this new title yesterday.
 Clearly the title is causing huge advance interest. Allen & Unwin has advised me this morning that they will release the title in New Zealand in September. Yay, bring it on!
Here are some of the mentions for This Is How You Lose Her.
