"Cronkhite does much well; she captures the 'I need to stop but can't' feelings of an addict beautifully as well as the feelings of peer pressure, isolation, and depression that often accompany teenage years."--Kirkus Reviews

"Sliding in between Fix and reality, Pen tries to solve the mystery of the missing girl, never sure what's real."--Booklist

"[This book] is packed with moments that may lead to discussions about suicide, feeling alone, abusive relationships, drugs, bullies, and hope. A good book for any library collection serving young adults."--VOYA

"A quick read that a lot of teens will be interested in."--School Library Connection
