About the Author
Reviews
"Annalise...discovers that she's been the victim of a 'catfishing' prank. How this melodrama plays out is unconventional and worth the read. Schorr creates a robust and likable character in Annalise.... The writing and language are fluid and blend seamlessly with the mood of the book. A solid additional purchase for large YA collections."--School Library Journal
"Teenage girls play out a revenge drama online only to discover that there's no hiding one's true identity. A crowd pleaser...for teens looking for love in all the wrong places, this social media fable is dramatized with love triangles, revenge, and rock-'n'-roll." --Kirkus Reviews
"Identity Crisis delves into offline difficulties, too, from job loss, fear of parental divorce, slut-shaming, fandom, body image issues, sibling stress and other issues that compound their virtual lives. Parents, teacher and tweens/teens need to read Identity Crisis. There are many important lessons that can be learned. You will come away with a new sense of empathy--and want to be sure that no one ever does this to someone you love." --Sue Scheff on The Huffington Post
"This breezy novel may appeal to readers who like the melodrama of adolescence." --The Horn Book Magazine
"An addicting storyline that shows the rise of the prank, the discovery, and the reconstruction of the girls' relationship.... An awesome and nail-biting plot, and the conflict is simply irresistible. Noelle is a character most readers can probably empathize with. The story is unique, and it's definitely for those who are looking for something out of the ordinary." --YA Books Central
"Extremely important and beautiful. Couldn't stop reading, really helped me understand peer pressure and the Internet." --Teen Librarian Toolbox/School Library Journal
"Addressing 'mean girl' behaviors, along with Internet safety and the verity of online identities, Schorr's novel delivers a carefully crafted tale.... A fast, fun read for contemporary teen girls interested in friendship, revenge, bullying, regret, light romance, and online safety, this drama-filled novel will encourage less-inclined readers to persevere to the end. This book is recommended for public and school libraries." --VOYA Magazine
