“Melissa Unger’s gem of a first novel is a vivifying, colorfully imaginative piece of work that unveils a deeper dimension and pushes us out of the realms of our comfortable normality. From the very first sentence we topple down from the cliffs of realism into a world just one lopsided step from ours. GAG - brief but brilliant, shines out with a unique glimmer in the skies of the contemporary novel.”

- Claire LeJeune | San Francisco Book Review
