Mesmerizing." --Publishers Weekly "Whitcomb is generous with atmospheric detail . . . and she creatively pulls together a dramatic and compelling plot that cleverly grants rebellious teen romance a timeless grandeur." --The Bulletin Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "[An] original, opinionated, sexy, and romantic novel of the afterlife." —Horn Book "Whitcomb writes beautifully . . . this will be irresistible to teens." ––Booklist Booklist, ALA
