"[Ellen Double Prime] shows the title character working in a diner, pregnant and hating the job. Thing is, this is all a surprise to her: Ellen was a rich girl in prep school, and certainly not pregnant...as she finds out more about her new past, she begins to question her own beliefs and assumptions. A strong and powerful story."—Tangent Magazine
