Powerful and complex, it's a beautiful and compelling exploration of love and forgiveness. Bravo to Miranda! -- Louisa Reid * Author of Gloves Off and Handle with Care * I found this book incredibly moving. Brutal, beautiful and ultimately hopeful, this coming of age story is layered and affecting. I loved the addition of the music and the way it captured Cara and Nathan's journey. A deep look at love, loss, grief and all the emotions in between. A rare new voice. -- Christine Pillainayagam * Author of Ellie Pillai is Brown *
