Reviews

[Frum Books]

The Lower East Side gets personality with the sarcastic banter and irony of the Rosen family. Sy and Eva reconcile their past and future with the present moment. Blanche and Charlie Stretch themselves for family, then turn around and wonder where they fit into the changing times. With signature graphic and visual writing and genre-defying appeal, Shortchanged is a timeless masterpiece about sacrifices, choices, and courage.

[Miriam Frankl · Rating 2 out of 5]

Decent storyline, but overly dramatic writing style.
