  “Here is another beautifully written story by Joyce Carol Oates. She perfectly captures the emotions and obsessions of the young protagonist, so that she is scarily easy to relate to. I see pieces of myself in "Anellia," and reading her experiences, I could empathize with her. Oates is a master in weaving stories!”

  “I love Joyce Carol although sometimes I feel she can be too verbose. I liked this particular book because it's her memoir and I love memoirs. She grew up in Buffalo, NY (not far from where I grew up) and the book takes place in Syracuse, NY, where she went to college and where I live now. A fun read and not too verbose with her character development!!!”
