Kirkus Review (Starred review) It's a deep, strange and compelling book, at times lovely, at other times heartbreaking and deliciously weird. New York Times With heart-wrenching swiftness, Black paints a picture of friends at the precipice of adulthood ... The tightly focused, realistic tale - bladed with a hint of fairy-tale darkness - feels cut from the very soul of youth.
