Review
"The plot twists are enough to keep readers of edgy, realistic fiction turning pages. The real strengths, however, are Conwayand#8217;s ability to suggest motive and emotion in nuanced dialogue and the portrayal of Tessaand#8217;s growing gift for articulating the ironies of the complicated people in her world. As in all good literature, the epiphany is inevitably bittersweet." andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;Iandgt;VOYA,andlt;/Iandgt; February 2012
