“Mesmerizing and haunting, Dunbar invites readers into a world of family secrets, anxious ghosts and a society’s ruthless grasp for power that will leave you wanting more.” - The Nerd Daily
”[A] charming novel perfect for a lazy weekend. It’s moody and melodramatic, the kind of story that makes you think of falling leaves and cozy sweaters and waning friendships and new lovers and finally learning to let go.” - Tor.com
“Fans of Lauren Myracle’s darker novels will appreciate Dunbar’s balance of the extraordinary and the typical.” - School Library Journal
