"Utterly addictive and psychologically delectable—Peñaflor’s second novel will shock at every twist and turn." - KIRKUS, starred review ⭐️
"...this twisty exploration of contemporary teen culture is as original as it is disturbing."
- BCCB, starred review ⭐️
"Even with its addictive, soap opera-esque intrigue, Peñaflor’s characters remain distinct and believable. Deliciously sordid yet thought-provoking, this will be eaten up by teens. VERDICT A must-have for YA collections."
- School Library Journal, starred review ⭐️
