We’re so proud to say that We Could’ve Been Happy Here by Keith Lesmeister just got a stellar review from Kirkus Reviews!

Here’s what Kirkus Reviews had to say about the forthcoming MG Press title:

“But for a first-timer, Lesmeister has developed an admirably concise style and a knack for capturing people during difficult coming-of-age moments or dispiriting processes of decline. Like the amateur cowherds in the title story, they’re recognizing that life is often disorderly, with help hard to come by. A gritty, emotionally sensitive clutch of stories.”
