Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, July 18, 2011:
“Well-drawn characters allow readers to sympathize with nearly everyone…With no tidy solutions, it’s an unflinching portrayal of love under pressure.”
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2011:
“A tender, complex character study…Crisp, revealing dialogue, measured pacing and candid, unaffected prose round out this illuminating novel in which any reader can find someone to root for or relate to. Unforgettable.”
New York Times Book Review, August 21, 2011:
“As the story builds to its tumultuous conclusion, Mikey and Ellie have to make the inevitable choice between new love and old allegiances…The hard question at the heart of this book — what would you do? — doesn’t have a single answer. For her young readers, Downham frames it remarkably well.”
Starred Review, School Library Journal, November 1, 2011:
“Downham brilliantly captures the struggle of these two star-crossed lovers as they navigate the stormy waters of family loyalty, social workers and legal systems, job and school. With touching honesty, she brings her characters to life in this poignant story of love and choice. Mesmerizing.“
