Both disarming and endearing. A realistic, poignant portrait of one teen who overcomes nearly unbearable feelings of grief and guilt. Kirkus Nielsen's balance of humor and pathos is finely honed, making this a surprisingly breezy read for so heavy a topic -- Daniel Kraus Booklist Nielsen writes about the heaviest subjects with the lightest of touches... the balance between tragedy and humour is so carefully managed, that this is a truly uplifting, even happy read. -- Andrea Reece Lovereading4Kids This book reeled me in from the first page, and kept me spellbound until the very last word. I connected with the characters really well, especially Farley, and I loved the ideas behind this book! -- Amelia Corrick-Gough, age 14, for lovereading4kids.co.uk This book was fantastic. I read it all in one go, not stopping for anything. It is absolutely incredible and everyone should read it. -- Megan Chambers, age 14, for lovereading4kids.co.uk
