MixedCleveland Review of BooksMost of the stories in My First Book are like this: Light on plot and internal narratives. Instead, what we get from Levy’s characters is voice and energy ... As her stories progress, Levy makes a point to peel back a little bit of the superficial edginess to reveal some of her characters’ human core ... Levy’s prose is sharp and smart, but upon finishing her debut collection, it’s hard to shake the feeling that its content was created to fit Levy’s brand rather than the other way around ... Flaws and all, it’s an undisputable arrival of a truly talented stylist, even if she does wear her influences plainly on her sleeve. Yet, aside from the occasional cutting, compulsively Tweetable turns of phrase, there aren’t any particular new ideas or voices here.
Tessa Hulls
RaveLos Angeles Review of BooksWhat’s most compelling about Feeding Ghosts isn’t its narrative. It’s the way Hulls’s voice interjects throughout and questions her own assumptions about so-called \"history\" ... Hulls’s narrative voice is uniquely captivating because she combines her cartoonist quirkiness with both a fine artist’s eye for page composition and a willingness to dive into dense subject matter without grasping for easy closure.
