"Definitely one of the better books I've read recently. The struggles Mandy faces with friends, family, the recent loss of her sister, all while a baby on the way was a really interesting book to read. I loved how Xandas played such a big role in Mandy's life, despite her obvious absence, and her wild nature really showed Mandy there's more to like than just what's laid in front of you." — Courtney (4 out of 5 stars)

" Something was missing I just don't know what yet. But overall it was a really good story. "
" Good plot. Great concept. Nicely written. The protagonist just seemed a bit too weak. "
" Beautifully written; set in Seattle; teen pregnancy; being the younger sister of a wild girl; mystery surrounding the older sister's death and the secret she never had a chance to share. Recommend to Deb Caletti and Sarah Dessen readers. "
" 4.5 stars. Read it in one sitting "
" Review for audiobook coming soon "
" I wanted to like it more than I did, but everyone was just too dysfunctional for my taste. "
" A wonderful debut! Frustration, heartache, tears, hope. "
" I was hooked early on- it was a quick read but I found the beginning more interesting than the ending. Kind of just ok to me... "
