What people are saying:

Cranse’s compassionate debut astutely conveys the joys, heartaches, and angst of coming-of-age.   
Starred Review. 
- Publishers Weekly

With a voice that is fresh, unique, and wry, Pratima Cranse, in her compelling debut, ALL THE MAJOR CONSTELLATIONS, captures the sexual frustrations, angst, and heartache of a young man on the brink of college. A lot can happen in a few months. And as Andrew navigates his way through tragedy, friendship, and love, the reader is completely held captive, eager for the answers this complicated protagonist will find. You will pull for Andrew to the end. This is a novel you won’t put down. 
- Diane Les Becquets, author of BREAKING WILD and the award winning SEASON OF ICE

A stellar voice to watch. Starred Review.
- Kirkus Reviews

Pratima Cranse's writing is wise, funny, provocative, beautiful, and heartbreaking. So are her characters. So is this book. 
- Sam J. Miller, author of THE ART OF STARVING

Adolescents will relate to Andrew’s exploration of religion and a world bigger than himself. Cranse creates an atmosphere where characters are safe to find humor in the face of tragedy and question the paths laid before them. VERDICT-- Older fans of realistic fiction will enjoy riding along with Andrew.–Carrie Fox, South Park High School, PA
