Publishing industry heavyweight Kirkus just gave Beatitude a very positive review, something conferred only sparingly:
“Closs’ story paints an inviting picture of ’90s New York. Subway tokens are on the way out and email is on the way in. Bookstores abound, and no one stares at a cellphone on a night out. Place in this world likable characters like Harry and Jay, and the stage is set for an enjoyable drama about unrequited love… A realistic and engaging love story in a finely illustrated setting.”
