Editorial Reviews
Review
“…original, fresh and fiery, you’d think that M. E. Karr, one of the grand masters of young-adult fiction, was just now getting started.” — The New York Times Book Review
“A story that challenges stereotypes, not only about love, but also about…all our definitions of ‘normal’.” —
ALA Booklist“This is first-rate storytelling with Kerr in absolute control of the narrative.” —
