What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Lorinczi (Wolfpitch) deploys heavy black inks to conjure a fitting, noir-like atmosphere that’s levied by pink accents that accentuate coming-of-age plot points and sweet depictions of a self-conscious teen’s foray into all-encompassing first love.” – Publishers Weekly * 05/26/25 *
“This affirming story questions and creatively redefines ‘coming of age’ in ways that will speak to many readers. Joyful and hopeful.” – Kirkus Reviews * 6/15/2025 *
