Combining the laughs of the situation Jordan finds herself in and the depth of the story it's rooted in, Riley has created a really gripping, not to mention awesome, novel that I adored even more than her debut (and that's saying a lot, because I loved Seven Ways We Lie!). Noteworthy discusses subjects such as gender, race, religion and poverty in honest and enlightening ways, and is wrapped in a contagiously fun musical theatre and a cappella package. What is there not to love?! * Page to Stage Reviews blog *

"**STARRED REVIEW** ""Redgate deftly harmonizes a lighthearted plot with an exploration of privilege, identity, and personal agency... A heart song for all readers who have ever felt like strangers in their own skins."" * Kirkus * **STARRED REVIEW** ""A smart critique of gender roles—male and female—in today’s society... delightfully wrapped up in a fun, compelling package of high-school rivalries, confusing romances, and a classic Shakespearean case of mistaken identity."" * Booklist * Setting and plot delightfully incorporate the arts, with themes of romance and self-awareness woven in... This fun novel pushes against gender norms and will resonate with many teens. * School Library Journal * It is refreshing to read a story about someone dressing as the opposite sex and not have the main tension be about someone finding out... This is not a story of having to hide who you are, but rather a story of finding who you are. * School Library Connection * Redgate vividly captures the world of a cappella, and she uses Jordan’s soul-searching—as well as her family’s financial struggles...to bring freshness and substantial depth to a gender-bending/mistaken identity plot that has a long history in literature and theater. * Publishers Weekly * **STARRED REVIEW** ""Like her visual arts students at Kensington, Redgate crafts her characters with delicate lines and strong shadows within a phase of life that is anything but gentle."" * Shelf Awareness *"
