Praise
"Bea's original first-person voice will draw readers in, and the unexpected plot will keep them engaged."

"Standiford realistically depicts both the social intricacies of a small school and the emotional nuances of two dysfunctional families. Her characters are unusually true-to-life as, caught up in the intensity of their present, they fumble toward fully formed identities and fulfilling relationships."
