Recensione:

“Horrifying. Satisfying. Remarkable in so many ways. Tease is a brave debut.” (Ellen Hopkins, New York Times bestselling author)

“Tease masterfully shows that when it comes to bullying, nothing is black and white, no side of the story is the only side of the story, and there are no winners. A compulsive read, and an absolute must-add to all bullying discussions.” (Jennifer Brown, author of The Hate List)

“Amanda Maciel’s timely exploration of bullying pulls no punches. Tease is a bold, hard-hitting and memorable debut that needs to be read and talked about.” (Courtney Summers, author of This is Not a Test)

“Tease is a book I wish I’d written—shocking, subtle, and emotionally raw.” (Katie Cotugno, author of How to Love)

“An emotional, deftly paced and heartbreaking first novel.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“That the story is told from a bully’s perspective adds complexity to this compelling, ripped-from-the-headlines novel. This nuanced look at a controversial topic will keep readers hooked until its satisfying conclusion and makes great fodder for discussion among high school students.” (School Library Journal)

“This powerful and realistic Mean Girls story had us addicted from page one... A thought provoking must-read that haunted us after the last page.” (Justine Magazine)

“First-time novelist Maciel has done an exemplary job of giving readers a multidimensional portrait of a bully that is psychologically acute and emotionally resonant. Realistic and suffused with truth, Tease is an excellent choice for both independent reading and classroom use.” (Booklist)

“Riveting page-turner.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))

“The novel enters fearsome territory honestly and will give teenagers a great deal to think about.” (Newsday)
