Reviews

"Punchy, touching, believable story of female friendship" -- LoveReading4Kids
"A good fun young teen novel that deals with some 'real' issues, whilst also delivering a strong message of friendship and sisterhood. Easily relatable for many young teens" -- Reading Zone
"Will enthral even the most distracted teen" -- iNews
"Holly Bourne has written a book that is so closely and carefully observed that from the very first page you bond with and believe the characters. Each girl is so well written that you can identify with all of them. These are girls I recognized, and I think that their problems and lives will be familiar to anyone who has a less than smooth passage through school" -- Armadillo Magazine
