""Quindlen is a master at portraying the teen experience. The setting is vivid and atmospheric, the dialogue is genuine, and the characters are believable -teenagers full of paradoxical traits: thoughtful and impetuous, determined and uncertain, kind and cruel. . . .A must-purchase for any library's YA romance collection."" --School Library Journal, starred review ""Quindlen crafts a genuine narrative of the unlearning required after growing up queer within the Catholic church, writing Hannah's inner turmoil--confronting her acquired beliefs versus her growing awareness of her sexuality--with a sense of authenticity and vulnerability."" --Kirkus Reviews
