Critics Review
“Clearly and concisely written, Knowles’s provoking exploration of children abusing children portrays the tense and finely crafted dynamics between the two girls. Lainey’s character is extremely well-developed showing her metamorphosis from hypercritical and withdrawn to self-realized with a focused and knowing clarity. A razor-sharp examination of friendship, abuse and secrets.” —Kirkus Reviews
