"Manages to tackle the intricacies of sexuality versus organized religion in an intense but ultimately inspirational narrative. Lauren successfully tackles a weighty subject with both ferocity and compassion." -- Booklist * August 1, 2017 *
"Readers will cheer for Tanner's confidence in his sexual identity and for the quality bi representation he provides. Satisfying." -- Kirkus Reviews * July 2017 *
"This sensitive and complex story is as much about finding love as it is about finding and accepting oneself....The text deals sensitively with serious issues, especially Sebastian’s grappling with his sexuality in the context of a stifling Mormon upbringing, but it’s also hilarious and relatable. Readers will enjoy seeing Tanner find his voice." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books * September 2017 *
"An impressively balanced approach to writing about the conflict between sexuality and strict religion. Members of the Mormon church are not painted as one-dimensional villains, but as multifaceted individuals with merits and faults....The teenagers are modern and relatable and the plot is emotionally engaging without becoming dark. VERDICT A thoughtful variation on the traditional high school LGBTQ+ romance" -- School Library Journal * September 2017 *
"This book is epic." -- Santino Hassell * Cosmopolitan *
