What The Reviewers Say

Anisse Gross,
The San Francisco Chronicle
Myer is not a shy writer; she covers religion, sexual abuse, suicide, reproduction, trauma, mental illness, divorce. As a poet, essayist, fiction writer, and founder of the Portuguese Artists Colony reading series, Myer’s chameleon abilities as a writer serve her well in this book. The narrative is fragmented, yet it holds together, and the writing is visceral, and unabashed.
Karen Springen,
Booklist
... disturbing.

Kirkus
... starkly revealing.
