Critics Review
“An encouraging journey from believable despair to painful, hopeful reality.”
–Kirkus“Sensate text renders a realistic depiction of living with a neurological disorder alongside a moving portrait of love, loss, and acceptance.”
–Publishers Weekly“Sharp, raw, and at times absolutely hilarious, this inventive romance manages to feel both otherworldly and achingly real. But the true magic comes from Lavender herself, who electrifies every page with her nonstop wit and relatable charm.”
–Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author“Teen readers seeking stories about experiencing medical challenges (with a touch of magic) that avoid resolving those diagnoses or treating the MC as broken will enjoy this electric, slightly askew tale.”
–Booklist“An incredibly moving YA speculative fiction story … . an important novel about the complexities of life with epilepsy, the challenges of advocating for your own medical treatment, and accepting the loss of loved ones.”–Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
