Reviews
"Stone's talent for writing compassionately about controversial topics that affect the lives of many is on display." --The Washington Post "A beautiful exploration of neurodivergence, grief, and taking risks." --Booklist "Readers will appreciate Stone's honest discussion of the critical issues of mental illness and substance abuse... as well as what it means to support a friend who is in need." --The Horn Book "An honest, if stark, examination of how teen relationships can grow and mature through intense trials." --School Library Journal "An honest work that highlights the importance of mental illness advocacy amid societal preconceptions and pressures." --Publishers Weekly "A thoughtful, realistically messy emotional wallop that destigmatizes mental disorders." --Kirkus Reviews "Offers a discussion starter about the prioritization of recovery and healing." --The Bulletin
