Trade Review
“A gorgeously written novel that doesn't shy away from recognizing the hard limits of love.” -- Tommy Wallach, New York Times bestselling author of We All Looked Up
* “It’s rare to find such a large group of characters who are so well-developed as to be almost real, and the prose is eloquent and precise, every word chosen with care. . . this debut is hands-down one of a kind.” * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
"An intriguing tale of illness, love, loss, and betrayal that is sure to reel in teens looking for something with a little bit of darkness hidden in the pages" * School Library Journal *
“The novel’s lyric prose and earnest treatment of grief, sacrifice, and recovery are sure to keep the pages turning.” * Booklist Online *
"It's transporting reading, with a powerfully evoked 1970s setting, and readers will eagerly sink into Devlin's richly detailed writing, accompanying Vanessa on a journey marked by moments of deep connection and equally profound pain.” * Publishers Weekly *
“Fully realized characters and lovely sentence-level writing make this an engaging debut novel.” * The Horn Book *
