Review
'Readers will laugh and cry throughout this rollercoaster of a novel. These two skilful writers create enormous tension and emotion through the rough ride of two teenage lives. I would recommend this book to any teenager, as well as their parents.' -- Jackie Harris, Worcester Evening News 'The emotional interplay is handled well and the exotic lifestyles and emotional disclosure make the book.' -- Books for Keeps, January 2001 'We found this book to be both interesting and enjoyable as it shows the importance of not making assumptions about other people. The ending is suitably intriguing.' -- Daniel (age 14) and Richard (age 10), Education Otherwise
