Estelle Laure's writing is poetic and beautiful, making the novel an amazing read. -- Guardian children's books site teen reviewer * The Guardian *
The relationships between Lu and Wren and Eden were fantastic. Eden and Lu had an amazing friendship ... captured the unrequited part perfectly. The throbbing heart. The yearning. The longing. All true. (And, for me, a familiar sight.) And I loved that Lu's emotions were relatable. Because those emotions could come from me.' * The Guardian *
