“A delicate and very real story about the way a teenage girl grows up.”
The New York Times Book Review

Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

“Refreshingly complex.”
Boston Globe

“With this honest and compelling character, Bauman has rewritten the rules for teen romance.”

The Horn Book

“Smart and sexy.”
Shelf Awareness

“Bauman…has a wonderful eye and voice.”

  1. I love this novel. I haven’t actually read on my own and so fast in such a long time. I just started reading the book today and finished. I related to many things in the novel, many emotions stirred up, especially laughter with Inggy and Angel… I appreciate authors like you that can write about teen life. I wish there was a sequeal where Joey and Angel try to start over , Inggy goes to college…where would it leave the others?
