Blake has written one of most wrenching portrayals of a messy, complicated mother/daughter bond I've seen in Young Adult fiction. Recommended for YA contemporary fiction collections." -School Library Journal "This is a gorgeous and moving novel of love, connection, romance, mother-daughter relationships, and the way pain inextricably links them all." -Dahlia Adler, BN Teens "A beautiful book about two girls trying to hold on: to themselves, to each other and to the pieces of their shattered lives. Blake clearly illustrates the impact of adult decisions that disregard the lives of teens, guaranteeing an emotional and relevant read." - Booklist " Despite the heavy topics addressed, the story never feels hopeless or depressing, as the author writes with nuance and care about her cast of admirably strong, loyal, and resilient teens who face head on the challenges life throws at them." -Kirkus "A solid romance within a moving portrait of a dysfunctional mother/daughter relationship. a story written with realism and sensitivity." -Publishers Weekly "This organic, moving romance juxtaposed with a messy, complex mother-daughter relationship is passionately told, with glimpses of optimism appearing through Grace's unshakeable bonds of loyalty.
"Blake (Suffer Love) skillfully assembles a complex story about the wonders of first love while exploring challenges all teenagers face, such as growing up and gaining independence.
