“Kooky, endearing … Kivel’s narration remains droll and nonchalant, practically taunting the reader, as Evie’s circumstances become more and more absurd”

“Beautifully radical … Kivel’s magical realist plot can be described as a series of ordinary ideas taken to their logical extreme … Wise”

The New York Times Book Review · Jo Hamya · Rave
“Full of DeLillo-style, mundane-yet-astute observations that revel in the joys and perils of modern ridiculousness”
