What They're Saying

Critics Review

This novel will take you to the edge of your comfort zone and beyond - a compelling, powerful read.– Cathy Cassidy, bestselling author of THE CHOCOLATE BOX GIRLS series

Some books can change the world for the better - this is one of them. All young people should be advised to read it. - THE SUN on Hate

Very few authors would have the expertise to so beautifully capture such difficult emotions without making the novel an explicit one. - THE GUARDIAN on Hate

Gibbons clarifies but never simplifies the issues involved. The least escapist thriller imaginable, and yet as exciting, and often as much fun as Horowitz. - DAILY TELEGRAPH on An Act of Love
