"A girl from an Indian reservation turns out to be a phenomenal golfer and falls in love with one of her rich, white team members in his heartfelt, realistic exploration of prejudice....Fichera writes a book that stands well as a romance novel, but, thankfully, she completely avoids tired romance-writing conventions, creating tension through the personality conflicts that abound as the bigotry already present in the high school pushes to the surface. Not just a Romeo and Juliet story, the book examines the conflicts of white versus Indian and rich versus poor, giving it far more heft than the average romance. Bravo. (Romance. 12 & up)" - Kirkus Book Reviews (starred review)

"...her story, laced with information about Native American culture and traditions, sheds important light on the many struggles Native teens face. Making her YA debut, Fichera shows strong storytelling chops as she weaves together plot lines involving class struggles, violence, bullying, and—of course— romance." - Publishers Weekly on HOOKED
