“Megan Tady’s Bluebird Day delighted me from the very first page. The story of how Claudine and Wylie re-build their mother-daughter relationship is laugh-out-loud funny with scenes of true grace and emotion.”

Tara Conklin

author of The Last Romantics

"Bluebird Day is a winsome dramedy about the fraught relationship between a five-time Olympic gold medalist and her resentful daughter. I loved the quirky cast of characters and Meg’s stylish prose as she weaves heart and humor in this story of a mother and daughter striving to reconnect against all odds. This one takes the gold!"

Michelle Hoffman

author of The Second Ending

"Bluebird Day evoked memories of my own World Cup ski racing days and the challenges of parenting while on tour. The alpine backdrop captivated me, while the contemporary issues woven into the narrative resonated deeply. As I turned the pages, I found myself laughing and shedding tears, immersed in a story that felt simultaneously familiar and oddly unpredictable. Megan Tady's tale is a poignant reflection of life's complexities, transporting readers on an exciting journey through the mountains and the human experience."
