Advance Praise

Praise for Janet Gurtler:

“Gurtler handles complex issues of race, identity, friendship and fidelity with laugh-out-loud humor and engaging frankness... once you’re in you won’t regret it.”—RT Book Reviews

“Gurtler demonstrates sensitivity toward her characters and insight into their emotional responses . . . the characters breathe with life.”—Kirkus

“Gurtler allows real life to prevail, avoiding the all-too-easy, ‘after-school special’ ending many writers might have chosen. Major characters are well-developed, and even adults are portrayed in a realistic, although not always positive, light.” – VOYA
