Kirkus Reviews, starred review, September 15, 2010: "A harrowing but ultimately redemptive tale of adolescent angst gone awry. Vera and Charlie are lifelong buddies whose relationship is sundered by high school and hormones; by the start of their senior year, the once-inseparable pair is estranged. In the aftermath of Charlie's sudden death, Vera is set adrift by grief, guilt and the uncomfortable realization that the people closest to her are still, in crucial ways, strangers. As with King's first novel, The Dust of 100 Dogs (2009), this is chilling and challenging stuff, but her prose here is richly detailed and wryly observant. The story unfolds through authentic dialogue and a nonlinear narrative that shifts fluidly among Vera's present perspective, flashbacks that illuminate the tragedies she's endured, brief and often humorous interpolations from "the dead kid," Vera's father and even the hilltop pagoda that overlooks their dead-end Pennsylvania town. The author depicts the journey to overcome a legacy of poverty, violence, addiction and ignorance as an arduous one, but Vera's path glimmers with grace and hope." (Fiction. 14 & up) Publishers Weekly, starred review, October 11, 2010: "Beginning with the funeral of Charlie Kahn, high school senior Vera's neighbor and former best friend, this chilling and darkly comedic novel offers a gradual unfolding of secrets about the troubled teenagers, their families, and their town. Though Charlie's death hangs heavily over Vera, she has the road ahead mapped out: pay her way through community college with her job delivering pizza while living "cheap" in her father's house. But first she has to face her fractured relationship with her father, a recovering alcoholic who worries about her drinking; the absence of her mother, who left six years earlier; and the knowledge that she could clear Charlie's suspected guilt in a crime. Vera is the primary narrator, though her father, Charlie (posthumously), and even the town's landmark pagoda contribute interludes as King ( The Dust of 100 Dogs ) shows how shame and silence can have risky--sometimes deadly--consequences. The book is deeply suspenseful and profoundly human as Vera, haunted by memories of Charlie and how their friendship disintegrated, struggles to find the courage to combat destructive forces, save herself, and bring justice to light." Ages 13up. (Oct.) Booklist, starred review, November 15, 2010: "High-school senior Vera never expects her ex-best friend, Charlie, to haunt her after he dies, begging her to clear his name of a horrible accusation surrounding his death. But does Vera want to help him after what he did to her? Charlie's risky, compulsive behavior and brand-new bad-news pals proved to be his undoing, while Vera's mantra was always "Please Ignore Vera Dietz," as she strives, with Charlie's help, to keep a secret about her family private. But when Charlie betrays her, it is impossible to fend off her classmates' cruel attacks or isolate herself any longer. Vera's struggle to put Charlie and his besmirched name behind her are at the crux of this witty, thought-provoking novel, but nothing compares to the gorgeous unfurling of Vera's relationship with her father. Chapters titled "A Brief Word from Ken Dietz (Vera's Dad)" are surprising, heartfelt, and tragic; it's through Ken that readers see how quickly alcohol and compromised decision-making are destroying Vera's carefully constructed existence. Father and daughter wade gingerly through long-concealed emotions about Vera's mother's leaving the family, which proves to be the most powerful redemption story of the many found in King's arresting tale. Watching characters turn into the people they've long fought to avoid becoming is, Kirkus Reviews , starred review, September 15, 2010: "A harrowing but ultimately redemptive tale of adolescent angst gone awry. . .
