Reviews:
“There are plenty of graphic, but beautifully wrought sex scenes in this book about a queer teen trying to find some freedom for himself in a small American town and with his deeply religious family.”' The Guardian
“ “Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway meets Judy Blume’s Forever” is as good a pitch as I’ve heard this year, and this beautifully crafted, complex novel which Ness calls his most personal yet, does not disappoint. […] Told with real tenderness, it’s a brilliant portrayal of the intensity of a teenager’s inner life.”' The Bookseller
"[a] subtle, heartfelt story of love and friendship in small-town America.”' The Guardian
