Review
"Barnes' young adult novel about two boys suddenly, deeply in love has a fairy-tale tone, but it will strike all the right notes for YA readers as the boys dance into the hearts of The Showdown audience."
--Richard Labonte, Bookmarks

"There is a wonderful resounding theme: sometimes you have to be brave enough to love and forgive. You won't grasp these words completely unless you read this entire heartrending story..." --QMO (Queer Magazine Online)

"...relevant to the plight of many gay teens...a vivid and realistic telling of the emotions and unfortunate realities that can face a teenager in reconciling his sexuality...very well written...four stars..."
--Bob Lind, Echo Magazine

"...a timely work that will resonate with readers for its portrayal of society's perception of the GLBT community..."
--Out & About Newspaper

"...a teenage love story, but it's between Brodie and Lance...it explores grief and loss - particularly the difference between having a loved one murdered and choosing to reject someone for being gay."
--Kel Munger, Sacramento News & Review
