Trade Review“The messages of teenage love turned dangerous are powerful, and this highly recommended book should be required reading for all teenagers.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) “A quick and absorbing read. The situations and dialogue ring frighteningly true.” — ALA Booklist “An open and honest portrayal of an all-too-common problem.” — School Library Journal “Gripping.” — Publishers Weekly “An outstanding first novel. An important book.” — KLIATT “Flinn’s use of Nick as narrator is unusual and provocative, and there’s impact as well as insight in his long refusal to acknowledge his own culpability.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
