Summary
One of the 2011 Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books for Teens
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This funny, wrenching, often heartbreaking novel…brings contemporary
characters and authentic street atmosphere, not to mention dogs and
dysfunction, to the age-old story of two teenagers—here, same side of
the tracks but different ends of the academic spectrum—in the bliss of
first love…Griffin gracefully answers questions and solves mysteries,
leaving us with hope and a smile without making things falsely shiny and
bright.” —New York Times Book Review
“Griffin's gift at giving voice to deeply flawed, disadvantaged
characters without patronizing or oversimplifying their circumstances
shines in this moving novel of loss, acceptance, and the possibility of
redemption.” —Publishers Weekly
“Although boys will enjoy this story, it will resonate with girls as they cheer and cry for the bad boy with a good heart.” —VOYA
“This is a powerful book and good a jumping off point for a discussion
of choices and their consequences. Even reluctant-reader teen boys can
relate to this book.” —Children’s Literature
“An outstanding love story peopled by a wealth of memorable characters.” —Kirkus Reviews
