Bookslut calls The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1-19 'wildly inventive'

Jocelyn Brown’s The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1-19 sports a title you’ll not soon forget, and a protagonist who challenges your patience while easily winning your affection ... a literary ride of such chaotic honesty that it could only happen in the hands of a teenager created by a very talented writer who gets that sometimes you just have to hold on tight as events carry you on, and you always have to take a chance if you want to change your life ... Major points to Brown for such a wildly inventive title that manages to be fantastic without straying into the realm of fantasy. No elves, fairies or vampires, but still lots of wild action, strong emotion and powerful hopes. The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1-19 is a book any teen can believe in, and Dree is a protagonist who falls apart, but still holds it together and remains, until the end, undefeated.
