Reviews

"[A] lyrical stand-alone prequel...The prose is exquisitely crafted, moving effortlessly from dizzying to heartbreaking...A breathtaking companion volume, fully readable on its own and devastating in the context of its predecessor." --Kirkus (starred review)

"McCarry's hauntingly beautiful, darkly poetic language is her strength, and a sense of magical realism pervades the narrative throughout." --School Library Journal

"Exhilarating." --VOYA

"Sarah McCarry's strange and gorgeous punk fairytales make magic accessible and imbue the everyday with the weight of myth. A joyous and heartbreaking journey to the dangerous crossroads of friendship and love, Dirty Wings left me in awe." --Bennett Madison, author of September Girls

"We all talk about the next Francesca Lia Block, but Sarah McCarry is it. This is the kind of fevered and subversive story that teenage girls will pass around. Sarah McCarry is the patron saint of girls on the edge." --Erica Lorraine Scheidt, author of Uses for Boys

"McCarry's beautifully rich narrative is smooth and seductive...effortlessy dropping references to authors from Rousseau to Block...Goths and romantics both will eagerly await the second installment of this suspenseful planned trilogy." --Booklist (starred review) on All Our Pretty Songs

"Haunting, otherworldly and heartbreaking." --Kirkus (starred review) on All Our Pretty Songs

"All Our Pretty Songs is a gorgeous, haunting tale of love and loss that manages not only to be deeply passionate, but desperately tender. The prose melts in your mouth." --Tahereh Mafi, New York Times bestselling author of the Shatter Me series, on All Our Pretty Songs
