"Amy's prose is lyrical and rhythmic and can only be compared to a song. She is truthful about her experiences. Her writing is quirky and unexpected. I love Amy's humor."

– Marta F. Kauffman, co-creator of Friends and Grace and Frankie, from the Foreword

Oh, the irresistible pull of psychics, seers, and horoscopes! National treasure (we ALL adore her) Amy Ferris’ fiercely funny book is a Valentine to those seeking spiritual solace, and like the very words she uses to describe all things “out there,” it’s a read that’s weird, amazing, and so wonderfully good. A fabulous travelogue towards hope and to your own inner knowing. I love this book so much.

– Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Days of Wonder

Absolutely nobody in America writes with the perfect combo that is Amy Ferris’s unique self-deprecation and skillful, riotous examination of any given social phenomenon. Skeptics will joyfully laugh out loud at Amy in Retrograde. (The Reverend Madame story alone makes this little tome worth the price of admission.)

Allow me to flex my own prodigious psychic abilities: I see a funny little book in your future. This book will arrive sometime in the spring of 2026. You will most likely read it in one sitting. You will laugh heartily. Afterward, you will feel an irrepressible urge to give a copy of Amy in Retrograde to every true believer you know, especially those born under the sign of Sagittarius. Do it. When the stars are aligned.

– Corie Skolnick, author of Orfan and America's Most Eligible

If David Sedaris and Nora Ephron had a love child, she would be Amy Ferris: witty, wise, hilarious.

– B.K. Jackson, writer, editor, and founder of Severance Magazine

“Amy Ferris is a force to be reckoned with and celebrated, too. She is a deep-sea diver of the human experience. In her refreshingly frank and engrossing memoir, her passionate search for the truth has led her to seek out psychics, some prescient, some not, and to understand that even seeking out clairvoyants is a sign of her larger, profound quest to understand herself, and her place in the world. Whether you believe in psychics, or not, you will believe in Amy the searcher for emotional truth, and be beguiled.”

– Thelma Adams, critic and bestselling author of The Last Woman Standing
