★ "Out of the mouths of teens come a most succinct and unabashed argument for reproductive rights...[Stevenson] doesn't preach to readers but allows the conversations to organically arise in familiar circumstances, such as a lovers' quarrel or a family discussing the meaning of safety...A smart, realistic, fast-paced piece of fiction for teens." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Being in a gay relationship is particularly challenging for teens, and especially in a fundamentalist household. But Stevenson...manages to safely and effectively control...combustible topics." - Resource Links
"Stevenson offers an effective portrayal of young adults discussing issues in the history of abortion...[The book] underscore[s] the importance of really knowing and acting on your values, as well as knowing the beliefs of the people you call friends." - VOYA Magazine
