JENNY DOWNHAM was an actress for many years before concentrating on her writing full-time. She lives in London with her two sons.
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, July 18, 2011:
"Well-drawn characters allow readers to sympathize with nearly
everyone...With no tidy solutions, it's an unflinching portrayal of
love under pressure."
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2011:
"A tender, complex character study...Crisp, revealing dialogue,
measured pacing and candid, unaffected prose round out this
illuminating novel in which any reader can find someone to root for
or relate to. Unforgettable."
New York Times Book Review, August 21, 2011:
"As the story builds to its tumultuous conclusion, Mikey and Ellie
have to make the inevitable choice between new love and old
allegiances...The hard question at the heart of this book — what
would you do? — doesn’t have a single answer. For her young
readers, Downham frames it remarkably well.”
Starred Review, School Library Journal, November 1, 2011:
"Downham brilliantly captures the struggle of these two
star-crossed lovers as they navigate the stormy waters of family
loyalty, social workers and legal systems, job and school. With
touching honesty, she brings her characters to life in this
poignant story of love and choice. Mesmerizing."
