Jones offers a convincing small-town environment (“There are no secrets in Eastbrook,” Belle jokes with “a hideous movie ghoul laugh”) and the author’s poetic prose ably captures her heroine’s emotional upheavals.” - Publishers Weekly
“It’s good to have her talent in the field.” — Claire Rossier, KLIATT
“This book was completely inspiring to me. Carrie Jones has a way of making you rethink how you see people who live life in a way that might not be your ‘normal’. I couldn’t put this one down.” — Kurtis, Boys Blogging Books
“From the first sentence of Carrie Jones’s novel I could tell that here was a bright new writer who was going to set the world of young adult letters aflame.” - Kathi Appelt
