Grateful to read a pre-pub draft. Anesa Miller has a gift for channeling disparate voices and seeding conflict inside beautiful language. OUR ORBIT is a page-turner and a heartbreaker.

Quotes by Suzy Vitello (?)

“I know there’s this ongoing Portland/Brooklyn spar for über hipdom (and I have to be careful here, because my agent lives in Brooklyn), but Portland is the least derivative place I’ve ever been. The folks here do what they do in defiance of norm or trend. The spirit of authenticity in Portland is as contagious as a February flu.”
