Critics Review
“Crystal Clear is a book for anyone seeking meaning and comfort in their life. The essay topics range from virginity to success, and while Jaya Saxena’s writing feels personal and intimate, it’s also relatable and clarifying. I don’t know a single thing about crystals, but I do know a thing or two about trying to make sense of the confusion and tragedy and joy of life. I can’t think of a better book for the moment.”—Scaachi Koul of Buzzfeed
“One of the most fascinating and unique books I’ve seen in a long time. Beautifully written, exquisitely researched, and filled with penetrating insight into the pretty rocks that can mean exactly as much as we want them to, and so much more. Saxena surprises you at every turn.”—Nicole Cliffe
“A collection of thunderously well-researched and generously human works.”—LitHub
