Full of anxiety, humor, philosophy, and grief, The Only Living Girl in Chicago is a stunning coming-of-age novel, a later bloomer's bible in constant, dizzying motion.

My book has been described as the "anti-On the Road" and an "anti-coming of age novel." I think these are good things based off of the way people said it. I think you should check it out:

I like seeing people talk about what it’s like to be a publisher. A lot of us are working on several books at once and with limited resources. Also, most of us aren’t in it for the money. We’re doing it because we love your writing and want to see it out there in the world…
