“Gracie defends the new boy with her slingshot, marking the beginning of a transformative semester…Wildly real and bursting with all the romance and pain of coming into oneself.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Helnwein debuts in striking fashion, with a gritty romance steeped in the heightened emotions, coming-of-age confusion, angsty pretentiousness, and acerbic attitude of her white, 15-year-old, Smashing Pumpkins–obsessed, cigarette-smoking protagonist.” Booklist, starred review
ANNA K AWAY by Jenny Lee
“A tale of love and loss that spans the globe…Fans of the first novel will enjoy this follow-up, which is also accessible to readers new to Anna and her world.” Kirkus Reviews
