"Mesrobian writes about sex--what it feels like, its power to satisfy and confuse--bluntly and effectively." -- Publishers Weekly"Mesrobian once again employs a fearless and honest tone. Her portrayal of bisexuality is thoughtful, and realistic. The respect with which Mesrobian speaks to her teen audience adds weight and validity. A great addition for most libraries, and perfect for older teens looking for nuanced and realistic fiction." -- School Library Journal"In Will's unapologetic voice, Mesrobian's raw, sympathetic coming-of-age story uncovers the messy, painful, yet vitally important, process of self-discovery. A unique, imperative novel." -- Booklist (starred review)"Pitch perfect, raw, and moving." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Mesrobian's novel is brutally honest and unsentimental. A rare examination of bisexuality in fiction for teens." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)"Arresting and raw, Mesrobian's deft prose cuts to the quick, shining a light on the limbo so many of us feel-both inside and out-assuring us that we are not alone." -- Aaron Hartzler, Lambda Award finalist for Rapture Practice
