Sam Smith Macmillan Children’s Books
‘For so many aspiring authors and submitting agents, the one refrain they hear over and, to see just how powerful the right voice telling the right story can be. Warm and wry, funny and fearless, Phoebe, her main character, is the unflinchingly honest narrator who serves both as the best friend you wish you had guiding you through the trials and tribulations of those difficult teenage years and the teenager you wish you were. Her exploration of the challenges and freedom of modern expressions of sexuality are as incredibly contemporary as her contemplations about love are timeless. And, throughout all this, she’s very, very funny.’
