Critic Reviews
“'Isadora's art has a raw directness that doesn't just communicate her on-page persona's ordeal it positively insists that we absorb and live it.'- Broken Frontier”
“Alternately whimsical and gritty, funny and tragic, and consistently finding new things to say about a well-trodden topic, this first outing’s a strong indicator of good things to come.” - Publishers Weekly
