"Dessen’s fans will be happy to devour this latest offering."—School Library Journal

"Readers can count on Dessen . . . she's a pro at creating characters caught at a nexus of change, who have broken relationships and who need to make decisions."—Kirkus Reviews

"Dessen once again offers a substantive, well-crafted exploration of a teen’s life that will deeply satisfy her legions of fans."—Booklist

"Dessen’s prose is clean and focused, the characters are developed and real, and the plot is believable. Mclean’s journey through the healing process after her parents’ divorce provides bibliotherapy for any teen dealing with family issues, and the secondary plot of tentative steps toward trust and friendship is beautiful. This is a must-have for any young adult collection."—VOYA
