Reviews
Realizing River City
"This is a powerful story, beautifully written in a style that is lyrical, friendly and seductive."
"Grunow’s writing is vulnerable yet strong, and she delivers her stories with the voice of someone who isn’t afraid to admit she seems to consistently attract the wrong men."
"Honesty and straightforwardness are the hallmarks of this book, and it is Grunow's transparency that fueled this reader."
"Readers will instinctively feel connected with her and her troubles, as well as her strengths in the face of adversity."
I Don't Belong Here
"She’s a beautiful storyteller as she weaves her stories together under a single theme for each piece."​

"Grunow’s collection certainly isn’t for the faint of heart; there’s plenty of grit, sorrow, and a hefty dose of fierce determination—all aspects of being a female in modern America."​

"The writing is poignantly arresting, filled with compelling imagery and insights into the art of living in a hostile world."​

"Grunow is proficient at dropping loaded sentences within a larger narrative. While reading a tightly constructed essay, you’ll get walloped with a line that takes you a minute to digest, causes you to reflect, to pause for meaning."
