“Reminiscent of John Green’s Paper Towns (2008), this noir thriller hooks readers with realistic dialogue, fully fleshed characters and plenty of twists. Terrific to the last, good page.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A journey well worth taking.” — Publishers Weekly
“In this debut suspense novel, teens search for elusive truths about Lily’s family in their small Idaho town. With a chapter structure reminiscent of Paul Fleischman’s Whirligig (Holt, 1998), the novel requires readers to piece together complete pictures of the characters in three divergent story lines in order to gain a full understanding of their plight.” — School Library Journal
“This debut novel boasts a strong narrative drive, deft scene setting, and isn’t bad at delivering catch-your-breath suspense, either.” — Booklist
