Pat Peoples, the endearing narrator of the touching and funny debut, is down on his luck. The former senior high school history teacher has just been released coming from a mental institution and placed in the proper care of his mother. Not one to become discouraged, Pat believes he just has been about the inside for a couple of months––rather than four years––and plans on reconciling regarding his estranged wife. Refusing to accept their apart time is actually a permanent separation, Pat spends his days and nights feverishly attempting to become the man she had always desired. Our hapless hero makes a friend in Tiffany, the mentally unstable, widowed sister-in-law of his best friend, Ronnie. Each day as Pat heads out for his 10-mile run, Tiffany silently trails him, refusing to be shaken off with the object of her affection. The odd pair attempt to navigate a timid friendship, but as Pat is not able to discern friend from foe and reality from deranged optimism, every day proves being a cringe-worthy adventure. Pat will be as sweet as a puppy, and the offbeat story has all of the markings of a crowd-pleaser. (Sept.)

"Matthew Quick has built quite the heartbreaker of the novel in The Silver Linings Playbook." — through the Kirkus First Fiction Issue
"Matthew Quick can be a natural storyteller, and his SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK--honest, wise, and compassionate--is a story that carries the reader along on a gust of optimism. Without shying away through the difficulties of domestic life, it charts a route past those challenges, and leaves us using a lingering feeling of hope. More than the usual promising debut or an inspiring love story, this novel offers us the gift of healing." — Roland Merullo, author of In Revere, In Those Days
"You don’t have to be a Philadelphia Eagles’ fan (or even from Philadelphia) to appreciate talented newcomer Matthew Quick’s page-turning paean on the power of hope over experience—the belief that this will all workout somehow, regardless of the long odds that life deals us. Tender, soulful, hilarious, and true, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK is often a wonderful debut." —Justin Cronin, PEN/Hemingway Award-winning author of Mary and O'Neil and Summer Time Guest
"The hero of Matthew Quick's first novel is Pat Peoples, amnesiac optimist and absolute original, whose dysfunctional journey takes him from big-league fandom to competitive dance along with a host of other modern preoccupations. This is often a funny, touching performance about the a part of Mr. Quick—and the beginning, I hope, of a major career." —Dave King, author of The Ha-Ha
"Entertaining and heartfelt and authentic, The Silver Linings Playbook magically binds together love, madness, Philadelphia Eagles football, faith, family and hard-earned hope into a story that is both profound and wonderfully beguiling. This is a splendid novel, written by method of a big-time talent." —Martin Clark, author of the Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living and The Legal Limit
"I loved The Silver Linings Playbook. It is warm, funny, and moving." —Shawn McBride, author of Green Grass Grace
