Reviews
A very positive message of accepting others as they are. --Clemence Amigou, NetGalley Reviewer (06/21/2017) The book is highly effective in showing the importance of accepting difference in gender, relationships, and body types on a societal level, and the damage inflicted upon those who do not conform to expectations. --Andrea Schnell, Quill & Quire (06/27/2017) An earnest and ultimately sweet little novel that I'd recommend to certain readers. --Paul Hamilton NetGalley Reviewer (06/29/2017) The author brings the characters to life with great skill. --Nightwing Whitehead, NetGalley Reviewer (06/27/2017) This is a book designed for the teen but works well for all the young at heart. -- (06/26/2017) Looking forward to seeing more titles from this author.
