• “The bitter cold of a Minnesota winter serves as both metaphor and backdrop for a riveting read…A realistic but shocking ending makes this an excellent choice for book discussion, and the simple sentence structure and complex content will appeal to reluctant readers.”

• “Realistic and at times raw, Lisa McMann’s novel sheds some light on a topic too often in the news today. Aaron Tveit provides a believable performance, drawing listeners into this suspenseful story and its shocking conclusion.” 

  — School Library Journal

• “McMann’s narrative is layered and emotional, with constant questions about family dynamics, identity and reconciliation. While an amnesia-based plot risks a quick foray into formula, this resists, balancing the fractured nature of Ethan’s recollections nicely with the character’s development. The sibling rivalry builds secondary tension and suspense.”
