Some reviews of Ellenson's book:

"Strong and moving stories about what it means –culturally, spiritually and emotionally to be a Jewish woman in today's world." –Los Angeles Times

"A real treat... Extremely refreshing... Shatters the usual sterotypes.... These women are so brave in admitting their true feelings and telling their personal stories that, after reading these essays, you might feel brave too."–Toronto Globe and Mail

"Reading this book is like taking a trip to Baskin-Robbins, only instead of flavors of delicious ice cream, you get delicious flavors of guilt, each irresistible in its own funny, weird, touching, infuriating, but inevitably engaging way."–Jewish Book World
