Reviews

Wolfer has given honest, non-judgemental pictures ofthe consequences of two different courses of action. -- Magpies

"""Young adult fiction that manages to deal with a sensitive issue yet doesn't thrust too much teenage anguish upon us . . . A story about change, agency and responsibility, with a pleasant mix of stylistic neatness and thematic uncertainty."" -- Sydney Morning Herald ""This novel is written in a manner that is both honest and touching, as it does not attempt to give a fairy-tale ending and is extremely realistic."" -- Courier Mail ""Wolfer paints both scenarios so convincingly that this book begs re-reading and discussion. For teenage boys and girls it should be compulsory reading."" -- West Australian ""Wolfer has given honest, non-judgemental pictures ofthe consequences of two different courses of action."" -- Magpies"
