From www.teenreadstoo.com —"Written in verse for maximum impact, the book grips readers and keeps them turning page after page, waiting for a release that never comes.
I know, because I'm still waiting to be released from the clutch of feelings invoked by Ava's tale. That's why I'm nominating this one for the Gold Star Award for Excellence in the TeensReadToo Hall of Fame. This award is reserved for books that we'll read again and again. A definite for me in this case."
VOYA—"Using flashbacks, precise language and verse format, Schroeder creates vivid images that define the passion of teenage love."
From School Library Journal—"Told in Ava's voice, this novel-in-verse captures the all-consuming nature of intense teen love."
KLIATT—"Schroeder's stipped-down images capture the pain of losing someone, the bewilderment posed by memories so strong that they seem more real than the present, and the isolation that often goes hand-in-hand with grief."
