"These stories are awesome little jigsaw puzzles that turn into a whole miraculous universe. And in this universe, Chelsea Martin is yearning for the answers to life's biggest questions in the most entertaining way possible. This contemplative little book is both funny ha ha and funny peculiar." - Kevin Sampsell, author of A Common Pornography

"Chelsea Martin writes beautifully. I get lost in her evocative prose and when she writes about loneliness I feel less alone." - Stephen Elliot , author of The Adderall Diaries

"Martin can shift from deadpan to devastation in a split second" - Justin Berton, SF Gate

"Chelsea Martin is a peach cobbler your friend made but accidentally left cooling too long what with the dance party inside the kitchen, and then it started to hail, and everybody forgot about the peach cobbler and went home, but then you snuck back into your friend's house at some awful hour of the morning that probably shouldn't even exist, and you stole that peach cobbler and ate it and you've never really had anything like it since, though you will sometimes jitter-step with your hands in your pockets or give a joke sympathy chuckles and lightly brush your hair away from your face so people can see your eyes." - Mike Young, iChat

"Chelsea Martin has unwavering eyes, wide-open ears, and a pitch-perfect voice." - John Mader, The Rumpus

"Chelsea Martin is cross-eyed, with weird-looking ears and a voice that sounds almost certainly inhuman" - James Yeh, Facebook

"I love Chelsea Martin." - Blake Butler, HTMLGiant
