Media reviews
"Young teens will enjoy the love sick” puns and the metaphors, lyrical and sad, that show that there is poetry in the way that they speak."--Booklist
" . . . the free-verse poems all somehow ring true: appropriately corny, rich with image, accessible and believable . . . the simple, open design encourages browsing, and readers flipping through are bound to find the right words when they need them."--Horn Book
"Since many of the narrators are 13 or 14 years old, these short, accessible poems will appeal to middle schoolers, especially. A great addition to poetry collections."--School Library Journal
