Not many YA writers can combine authenticity with such tenderness, so raw at times it's painful. A unique premise told beautifully * Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies (via Instagram) *
A truly extraordinary and original book. Utterly gobsmackingly brilliant. I felt elated, heartbroken and uplifted by the beauty of it. Raw and written from the heart, it's a phenomenal read * Liz Hyder, author of Bearmouth *
A powerful meditation on grief and friendship . . . There's a really satisfying arc, and the visits to Owen's other world add a mythic perspective. * The i newspaper *
Half realistic, half mystical, wholly successful * Financial Times *
