“Inventive, witty, and bracingly true, As If She Had a Say made me laugh, made my heart drop, and made me think deeply about the ways women must navigate a world that is not made for us. These are sneaky stories that got under my skin in the way the best art can, ever expanding to reveal new layers of meaning and depth. Unforgettable and most certainly what I want to be reading now. Fliss is all-seeing, a fearless noticer, and exactly the right person to deliver us to the heart of what matters, and to ourselves.” - Chelsea Bieker, author of Godshot and Heartbroke “The stories in As If She Had a Say are beautifully written and pack a tremendous punch. Fliss’s use of absurdism and speculative technique juxtaposed with hyperrealist details and storytelling are captivating. This is a resonant collection that doesn’t shy away from darkness but nonetheless remains relatable and poignant throughout.” - Kimberly Lojewski, author of Worm Fiddling Nocturne in the Key of a Broken Heart: Stories
