LEGS GET LED ASTRAY is a scorching hot glitter box full of youthful despair and dark delight. Tender and sharp, wide-eyed and searching, these essays have a reckless beauty that feels to me like magic. –Cheryl Strayed

For the reader, going astray means getting happily lost in the prose of this daring, graceful, debut. –Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
