“This book is absolutely beautiful. A deep, sweet, and subtly sensual YA that hits you smack in the heart and doesn't let up. It's a must-read for any YA lovers devoted to new voices they've never heard before, coming from characters they've never met before. I wouldn't have missed this delight for the world.” —Sunniva Dee, international bestselling author

“What a fantastic and deeply engrossing story! I loved the unusual setting in dirt poor coal country, and the circumstances of the characters fit the setting quite well. The characters had so much depth and the story was so plausible that it was hard not to try to read cover to cover in one sitting. I laughed, my heart broke a bit, and I cheered on our hero and heroine as they grew and found their way in their world. I highly recommend this book to readers.” —Cheryl B, NetGalley reviewer

“This is a gem.
There's so much to love about this novel. The writing is so smooth and fluid; the dialogue is realistic and the story glides along the page. Lynn Vroman has an amazing style and a great talent. I haven't read any of her other work but will absolutely make a point to do so soon. Honestly, there's such a lovely fluidity to her work that I am straight up jealous.

The story is heartbreaking and hopeful at equal turns. The characters are rich and rounded. It's not often we see a group of young adults band together through thick and thin. Girls welcome new competition without the cattiness that comes so easily to storylines. Adults help and guide but don't make promises they can't keep. Family betrays one another. Family finds a way to come back together. .
This was a peek into the lives of the tough people that poverty keeps down. There's no hiding the ugly in this story and there is plenty to see. But there are shining moments of love and hope. The people we meet in this story will resonate for a long time.” —Trisha, NetGalley review
