Knowles handles Rachel&#8217;s evolving feelings about her sexual orientation with particular nuance: Rachel&#8217;s concerns center on her own comfort and sense of self rather than worries about how her identity might be perceived, offering readers an exemplar that is compelling and fresh. The world is foisting a great deal on Rachel in a singular moment, and her responses are believable and affecting. This is one of those rare novels that feels less like a constructed story and more like a momentary glimpse into a real young life&#8212; genuine, stirring, and raw.&#8212;The Horn Book (starred review)Each story thread has its own significance and weight, and when woven in with the others and dotted with moments of joy and humor creates a fully realized portrait of a girl trying to figure out how to be a teenager when all she really wants is to stay a kid...This is bittersweet in its realism, but readers can leave with the knowledge that the lessons of the summer have equipped Rachel to do more than just manage and to flourish into a confident, self-assured young woman.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)In this bittersweet coming-of-age novel rooted in some of the author&#8217;s own experiences, Knowles (Still a Work in Progress) paints a down-to-earth picture of an adolescent girl who is saddled with too many responsibilities. Rachel&#8217;s anger and frustration over not being able to control her situation is as vividly expressed as her growing maturity and courage.&#8212;Publishers WeeklyA gently told story about tough transitions, family and sibling love and stress, and evolving friendships...Even as Jo Knowles tackles some tough issues, especially income insecurity and loss of home, she keeps the tone quiet, warm, detailed, and often funny, leaving the reader space to work out questions and problems along with Rachel and her loved ones. A good read for fans of Rebecca Stead and Jeanne Birdsall.&#8212;School Library JournalKnowles deals with specific yet relatable upheavals in a young teenager&#8217;s life with nuance and understanding. Rachel&#8217;s emotional turbulence, as well as her growth and change, are realistically presented. The story offers no easy answers, but plenty of hope, heart, and love. A sensitive, character- driven story about change.&#8212;Booklist OnlineThis coming of age story doesn&#8217;t shy away from the tough topic of a family facing financial hardship, but it&#8217;s mainly a gentle and sensitive look at a young girl forced to deal with the stress of change and growing up that will resonate with many readers.&#8212;B&N Kids Blog
