What two distinguished writers have said about Lisa Romeo's work:
"Rich, intelligent, thoughtful, personal and investigative. What stands out is the voice, continuing to probe and wonder, open still to discovering what might be true about this interesting life of father and horses and kids and marriage. Beautiful attention to sound, rhythm, precision of word choice and pacing...characters are interestingly complicated and utterly believable. The narrator is flawed and admirable – just the kind of character we like to follow around. Intensely emotional without being maudlin."–Barbara Hurd, Walking The Wrack Line: On Tidal Shifts and What Remains
"The sentences are so beautiful and self-assured. I feel transported. The fragmented sections in Two Weeks in Vegas, about the death of (her) father, offer a kind of fracturing and accumulation, drawing a broken picture of how life feels. Not Quite Meet-Cute has that same buoyant, unromantic tone, even though it's a love story, and works to undo assumptions about stories we tell about our most essential relationships. There's such a steady and sure quality throughout – almost aural in its delivery and smoothness."–Debra Marquart, The Horizontal World: Growing Up Wild in the Middle of Nowhere
