Excellent story . . . from an author who, notably, has written unpatronisingly and sensitively about teenager's feelings
The Bookseller
Tremendously moving . . . there's a real romantic animism about the book that will appeal greatly to teenage girls . . . both thought-provoking and reassuring, and it comes very much recommended by me

... Read moreElegiacally, and with great pathos and skill, Green charts a girl's passage from innocence to experience, from grief to acceptance
Financial Times
The strong sense of place and season, together with Freya's own burgeoning sense of self, gives the book its unique flavour . . . Never has that sun-soaked, salt-crusted sense of teenage summer well-being been better described
