Rezensionen

"Grace's elegant and intimate first-person narration combines with her wry sense of humor to create a likable character in a believable situation. This is honest, unapologetic realism from a diverse perspective not often seen in young-adult fiction. Not to be overlooked." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

One broke my heart and mended it, all at the same time. Beautiful, moving story about an unbreakable bond and an immense love – ONE of my ALL time favourite books!
