"Praise for Tess Sharpe The Girls I've Been: * ""A captivating, explosive, and satisfyingly queer thriller."" --Kirkus, starred review * ""An arrestingly incisive narrative . . . fiercely captivating and impressively characterized, this tightly plotted thriller is engrossing from start to finish."" --Booklist, starred review * ""Not since Veronica Mars have hardscrabble swagger, enormous grief and teenage noir been combined into such a satisfying piece of storytelling. The Girls I've Been is a heart-wrenching, perfectly paced, cinematic thriller . . . a romance, a tragedy and a story about reclaiming agency and power. It is a triumph."" --Bookpage, starred review Barbed Wire Heart: ""Harley is one of the most complex, fascinating, dangerous characters I've encountered in years."" --Lisa Gardner ""Terrific.

[It dissects] Penny and Tate's thorny romance...their relationships with themselves, and...the very nature of love."" --Booklist, starred review ""In this character-driven, slow-burn romance, both Penny and Tate are engaging voices, enriching the narrative with their strong and very different personalities. It's impossible to choose a favorite...Well characterized and wholly entertaining.""--Kirkus ""Sharpe smartly navigates familiar romance tropes, such as friends-to-lovers, to craft a refreshing and gratifying dynamic...a savvy, slow-burn romance.""--Publishers Weekly"
