People will say The Bed Moved is a collection of droll stories about love and youth and those people will be correct. But that's not the thing. The thing that makes this book so special is the punch-packing depth of these meticulously crafted pieces. Rebecca Schiff is a human spotlight and I will look wherever she points from now on - Sloane Crosley, author of The Clasp

I'd like to watch the faces of people reading it as they shift between awe and admiration and shock. This writer is freaking good - Ben Marcus

Schiff's stories are plumb with youthful tragedies, both timeless and pegged to the Internet era. If you've ever been on an online date or to a geeky summer camp, there's something here for you to love - Huffington Post
