About the Author

Kasie West lives with her family in central California, where the heat tries to kill her with its 115-degree stretches. She graduated from Fresno State University with a BA degree that has nothing to do with writing.

Reviews

"An antidote to dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction, this Cinderella story is sweet and hopeful."

"West's premise is a winner, and Addie is the kind of heroine readers would want as a best friend--loyal, unpretentious, and thoughtful....What truly makes West's story memorable, however, is Addie's wry humor...and the book's fascinating exploration of how life can change with one simple choice."

The charming story is beautifully written, and the characters are well developed. West's novel is sweet and captivating.
