About the Book
★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★
“Meadows lightly tackles challenges teens face—toxic friendships, cyberbullying—without diminishing their serious impact on readers’ lives. . . . Timely and immediately engaging, this is a clear first purchase for all middle grade and YA collections.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)
“A satisfying read with realistic middle-school drama.”
—Booklist
“A sweetly gratifying story that doesn’t shy away from moral complexities.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Through winningly acerbic, tech-savvy narration, Meadows (Bye Forever, I Guess) explores budding first love, the complexities of toxic middle school frenemies, and the potential boons and perils of online friendships and communities in this introspective offering.”
—Publishers Weekly
—Publishers Weekly
“The breezy writing and engaging plot, including a sweet potential romance, will likely appeal to many middle school readers, and the inclusion of bullying that starts in the online sphere but bleeds into real life will feel (unfortunately) relevant.”
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
