Reviews

"Smart first novel...Johnson reveals a broad spectrum of perspectives through her characters' differing sentiments, motivations, and opinions"
"Readers will never look at high school - or life - the same."
"Johnson's fun, activist-minded debut has a close cousin in Jamila Stevenson's The Latte Rebellion (2010). Evie is a strong yet vulnerable heroine whose intellectual bent and sense of self will remind readers that, as historian Laurel Thatcher Urlich said, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'"
