Absolutely charming...Mac infuses so much passion and heart into...this witty, entertaining glimpse into one kid's summer of discovering that 'life is really hard if you're a person who's alive.' -- (04/20/2006) This book achieves the goal of providing a provocative storyline with high teen appeal...Recommended. -- (06/23/2006) An emotionally complex story. Communal living, drug addiction, and, of course, the lesbian content will all be sure-fire discussion points, and these same elements, especially the hot romance, make this an intriguing book for fluent and struggling readers alike. -- (08/09/2006) I was impressed by this book and how it handled a sensitive and potentially awkward situation. -- (10/01/2006) A bright, lovely novel...well thought out. -- (08/01/2006) [A] strong story of love and sexual identity, rooted in well-drawn characters and well-imagined situations. --Quill & Quire (06/01/2006)
