No Love Allowed:
Evangelista takes a familiar story of young love and makes it fresh. --VOYA
Given the growing awareness towards understanding the stigmas, issues and concerns surrounding mental illness, I find it refreshing that this book doesn't preach about what to do or how to be - it just tells a story of two people who fall in love and who just also happen to struggle with issues that deserve a place to be talked about. -Whatsageek.com
"Wow. I loved this. LOVED it. Kate used a deft touch, getting Didi just right. I'm looking forward more in this series because all the main players deserve their own stories. Read this book. You will NOT be disappointed." - Christine Ashworth, Swoon Reader
"It's like a modern fairy tale." - Camelle, Swoon Reader
"The romance was incredible. There was also a great set of secondary characters. Nathan was my favorite. And I'm so thrilled that he's going to get his own story too. I can't wait for it. The perfect YA contemporary romance for me. It had humor, romance, awesome characters and great writing. Pretty much everything I want in a book." - Stephanie (Bookfever)
