Praise for The Wrong Heaven and The Regrets:

• “Bonnaffons’ first full-length novel is a rare pleasure: a philosophical rom-com too weird, too bodily, too precise, too fun to get bogged down in trembling sentiment. Deep and deeply funny.” - Kirkus (starred review)
• “Bright and lively…Bonnaffons reveals some magic of her own.”- NY Times Book Review
• “Imaginative and unsettling…an outstanding, exciting debut.” - Publishers Weekly (starred)
• “At once goofy, poignant, and edged with the fantastic, the stories in ­Bonnaffons’s debut collection initially surprise, then turn into one long, delicious rush…Not just fun but full of smart ideas.” - Library Journal (starred)
• “In her first collection, Bonnaffons dazzles and cuts with 10 hilarious and cathartic short stories ... The author employs a modern magical realism, absurd, nihilistic, and playful all at once.... Resonant of Alissa Nutting’s novels and George Saunders’ Pastoralia (2000), Bonnaffon’s first collection presents a powerful and fresh new voice.” - Booklist
