"Pretty Much True knows the pain of deployment." Stars and Stripes

"I spent years reporting from military bases where young families and lovers were being separated by the decisions of old men. I had never had a better understanding of the agony of military separation until I read Kristen Tsetsi's haunting and lyrical debut novel." James C. Moore, New York Times best-selling author of Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential and Give Back the Light: A Doctor's Relentless Struggle to End Blindness

"Hauntingly spare and shimmeringly powerful, Tsetsi's book does what the best books do--it hurls you into a world you think you know or understand and makes it living, breathing, and absolutely engrossing." Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Cruel, Beautiful World

"Pretty Much True reads like a long-form haiku written by Charles Bukowski in collaboration with Ann Beattie. Almost every paragraph is a stand-alone gem of insight and observation." Rick Shefchik, author of Everybody's Heard about the Bird

"Tsetsi's solid, seamless, and detailed writing has the power to bring us into each scene. The result is an engaging, realistic portrait of a lover's life at the homefront." Bookpleasures

"From beginning to end, Tsetsi's novel is loaded with foreboding." From The Hell of War Comes Home: Imaginative Texts from the Conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq by Owen W. Gilman, Jr.

"There are few stories written from the point of view of a loved one back home waiting, and waiting some more, not knowing if or how the soldier will return home. Perhaps that's because so few have found an interesting way to write such a story, but that has changed, thanks to Kristen Tsetsi." Carol Hoenig, Huffington Post
