Praise for This is Great But You Don’t Need It:

• “This story is a heart-breaker and a rule-breaker, a clear breath and a gut punch. It’s unorthodox in its point of view and risky in its sincerity. A full life and full world in three short pages, yet I’d stay there for longer if I could.” –Ashley Farmer, author of The Women and The Farmacist
