"One of the most impressive debut novels . . . centered around relationship-driven fiction catalyzed by horrific events, mostly realistic, sometimes supernatural... Indeed it's sexual, it's graphically written, but it's also . . . an affecting and powerful novel about heartbreak and the untimely destruction of childhood." —Edward Bryant, Locus
