""Engrossing, messy, complex, and real. Moskowitz's writing is raw and so right." -Lauren Strasnick, author of Nothing Like You

 

"An intense, bittersweet novel about how people come together and how they break apart, set over four summers. A powerful story that will stay with you." --Jennifer Hubbard, author of The Secret Year

 

"It's clear that the author cares deeply about her characters, and she gives their lines density and, frequently, a heavy nostalgic feeling. Teens will welcome the unfiltered dialogue....Chase is a sympathetic protagonist who, like many teens, is on a quest for connection and understanding....Readers will...embrace Moskowitz's introspective characters and the dramatic situations in which they find themselves." -SLJ

 

 

"The dreamy alternate world of summer vacations provides the backdrop for this soulful look at the growing pains of a single, outwardly normal family....In four sections, each one year apart, Moskowitz delivers a series of scenes--some so brief and spare you'd almost have to call them 'moments'--that communicate Chase's aching awareness of the passage of valuable time....Coming off the edgy Break, this is surprisingly breezy, and you have to commend Moskowitz for her commitment to writing sensitive books with male protagonists." -Booklist
