Emily Gould's PERFECT TUNES received an enthusiastic review in The Washington Post. They call it a “poignant story about the hard and intangibly enriching work of motherhood." Additionally, journalist Allison Stewart interviewed Gould for her NYC culture podcast All Of It, wherein the two discussed the research that Gould conducted in order to set her characters in a true-to-life 2001 New York City. Simon & Schuster published the book on April 14, 2020.
