Review
“Moskowitz, as usual, imbues her prose with a dreamy quality that makes every off moment feel monumental….Despite featuring the very real sniper attacks of 2002, this is as amorphous as the authors Invincible Summer—not necessarily a bad thing for those inclined to float along with the lullaby rhythm. The theme of the randomness of tragedy (literalized here by 9/11, the sniper, cancer, and Craigs 14 lost pets) is particularly well-handled.” --Booklist
Review
“[A] quiet, insightful drama….Moskowitz captures the teenage mentality and voice in this tender yet emotionally complex romance….The novel does an excellent job of showing the collective hurt from the 9/11 attacks and how those in both New York and D.C. dealt with the aftermath.” --Publishers Weekly
Review
“A wistful meditation on the emotional costs of love and loss. In this quiet but revealing narrative, the author subtly explores a wide range of emotions with a restraint and intensity not always found in current young adult literature. For thoughtful readers, the story of Lio and Craig is a book worth reading.”
--VOYA
Review
* "Lyrical prose and quiet, often heartbreaking character moments....Bursts of sharp humor....The sense of yearning—for connection, for understanding, for safety—is palpable throughout, and readers who reveled in the emotional highs and lows of Green and Levithans Will Grayson, Will Grayson will find this romance equally satisfying." --The Bulletin, starred review
