“McGuire’s latest novella is a breathtaking work, simultaneously exciting and emotionally resonant. Jenna is as real as she is unreal; she is endearing and magnetic even as she lacks corporeal form. Through her, the reader understands the nature of the world she inhabits, as well as the depths of her loneliness, even before Jenna herself does. Her small coterie of friends are written distinctly and vibrantly, each clearly the protagonist of their own life. Ultimately, the novella is about love and loss, about the extremes of grief, and about moving forward. It’s about living life fully, even after you’re already dead.”
